Question 331652
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Do whatever valid algebraic manipulations are necessary to get the *[tex \LARGE y] on the left side of the equals sign all by itself, and then collect terms in the right hand side.  It will look like:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y\ =\ mx\ +\ b]


when you are done.  It is called the slope-intercept form because the coefficient on *[tex \LARGE x], that is the *[tex \LARGE m] is the slope of the line and the constant term, that is the *[tex \LARGE b] is the *[tex \LARGE y]-coordinate of the *[tex \LARGE y]-intercept, *[tex \LARGE (0,b)]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
