Question

Describe the procedure you performed to derive the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. You first have to find the slope

2. Next, you have to find the y-intercept

3. Finally, you have to put it in y = mx + b form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of 2 points is; $\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

The y-intercept is; $y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1} )$

y = mx + b

m is always the slope

b is always the starting point or y-intercept

Answer 2

Answer:y=mx+b

Step-by-step explanation:

To summarize how to write a linear equation using the slope-interception form you

Identify the slope, m. This can be done by calculating the slope between two known points of the line using the slope formula.

Find the y-intercept. This can be done by substituting the slope and the coordinates of a point (x, y) on the line in the slope-intercept formula and then solve for b.

Once you've got both m and b you can just put them in the equation at their respective position.
