Slope-Intercept Form slope of the line

y = mx + b “y =” equation

y-intercept of the line

 

               

Given the slope and y-intercept, write the following lines in slope-intercept form. y = mx + b

Slope: 4 y-intercept: -3

 

Slope: -2 y-intercept: (0,5)

Slope: 0 y-intercept: 1

 

 

Given the following lines in slope-intercept form, find the slope and y-intercept. y = mx + b

y = -x + 6

y = 2x – 2

2y – 4x = 10
