Question 120173

the {{{slope_intercept}}}  form of a linear equation is : {{{y = mx + b}}}...where {{{m}}} represents a slope, and {{{b}}}represents {{{y_intercept}}}(or the point where the line crosses y axis)

{{{y = 3x-2}}}...if you compare this equation to the standard form, you see what {{{m}}} and {{{b}}} are...this is {{{slope_intercept}}} form

slope {{{m = 3}}}  (rise/run=3)

and {{{b = -2}}}.....the line crosses {{{y}}} axis at {{{y=-2}}}

here is detailed explanation with a graph:
