Is slope intercept the same as Y intercept?
In this regard, what is slope intercept form?
The graph of the equation y = mx + b (where m and b are real numbers) is a line with slope, m, and y-intercept, b. This form of the equation of a line is called slope-intercept form. The slope of a line, m, is a measure of its steepness.
Keeping this in view, how do I find slope and y intercept?
To find the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the x variable and solve for y. If the equation is written in the slope-intercept form, plug in the slope and the x and y coordinates for a point on the line to solve for y.
You may already be familiar with the "y=mx+b" form (called the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line). It is the same equation, in a different form! The "b" value (called the y-intercept) is where the line crosses the y-axis.
