Question

How to put an equation in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

Hi there!

Keep in mind it depends on the equation.

I will give you an example, though.

Say that we have to put this equation into slope intercept form:

2x - y = -3

All you need to do is flip some of the variables to different sides.

2x + (- y + y) + 3 = (-3 + 3)

2x + 3 = y

y = 2x + 3

This means that the line intercepts 3 on the y-axis and has a positive slope of 2.

But due to lack of context, I do not know what equation you are trying to convert.

I am sorry.

Maybe if you can give me an example of what you are trying to put into slope-intercept form?
