Question 24096
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.
