Tap for more steps. For the equation y mx b m is the slope of the line that is multiplied by x and b is the y-intercept or we can say the point where. Watch this tutorial and learn about the point-slope form of a line.
You may already be familiar with the ymxb form called the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.
It is the same equation in a different form. The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y 11 2 x 2 55 05 x. Slope Change in y Change in x y 2 y 1 x 2 x 1. The slope and y-intercept calculator takes a linear equation and allows you to calculate the slope and y-intercept for the equation.
