The slope intercept form is when you use the equation y=mx+b (m is the slope and b is the y-intercept). First, let's find the y intercept. The y intercept is what y would be if x is 0. here, you can see that this particular line passes through the origin. So, the y-intercept is zero because when x passes through zero, y is also zero. Next, let's find the slope. The formula for slope is change in y/change in x. Let's randomly choose 2 points off this line. To make this a thousand times easier for us, let's choose the points (-4, 3) and (4, -3). Now, to find the change in y, let's find the difference between the 2 y coordinates we have chosen. To do this we just need to do -3-3, which gives us -6. Now let's find the change in x. To do this we will do the same thing we did to find the change in y but this time we'll use the x coordinates. We will do 4-(-4), which simplifies to 8. Now, we're almost done. Just divide the change in y by the change in x. You will get -6/8. This can be simplified to -3/4. So now we know our slope is -3/4 and our y-intercept is 0. Let's insert them into the equation. y=-3/4x+0. We know that we can just get rid of that 0 because 0 literally means nothing. So our final answer is y=-3/4x. Hope this helps!
