Answer: the "y=mx+b" form (called the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line).

Explanation: Finding the equation for a line is a common problem in geometry and trigonometry. There are two common situations where you are asked to find the equation for a line: either you'll be provided with one point on the line and the slope of the line, or you'll be provided two points on the line.

The "b" value (called the y-intercept) is where the line crosses the y-axis.

So point (x1, y1) is actually at (0, b)

and the equation becomes:

Start with

y − y1 = m(x − x1)

(x1, y1) is actually (0, b):

y − b = m(x − 0)

Which is:

y − b = mx

Put b on other side:

y = mx + b

<h3>What is Sexually transmitted disease ?</h3>

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections transmitted from an infected person to an uninfected person through sexual contact.

Antibiotics, often in a single dose, can cure many sexually transmitted bacterial and parasitic infections, including gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia and trichomoniasis.
