- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and (0,b) as the y-intercept.
So starting with the y-intercept, the easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form equation to slope-intercept form. Firstly, add 5x to both sides:
Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form is
Looking at this slope-intercept form, <u>the y-intercept is (0, -5/2).</u>
Now to find the x-intercept, just set the y-variable to zero and solve:
<u>Our x-intercept is (-2,0).</u>
