Question 24096: how do you find the slope and y-intercept of an equation?
Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the equation is in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, then m, the coefficient of x, is the slope and b, the number term, is the y-intercept.
If the equation is NOT in the form y = mx+b, then you should solve for y in terms of x and other numbers, and once this equation is in slope-intercept form, then the coefficient of x is the slope, and the number term is the y-intercept.
