Question 19318: I need to find the slope-intercept form of (0,1) (3,-8). How do i figure out how to find the equation? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The slope-intercept is: where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
First find the slope using:
(0, 1) = (x1, y1)
(3, -8) = (x2, y2)
Now you can write:
Now you need to find the value of b, the y-intercept. This is done by substituting the x- and y-coordinates from either of the two given points and solving for b. Let's use the first given point (0, 1).
Now you can write the final equation:
