Answer:

Explanation:

Get the linear equation into the form y = mx + b, where m equals the line's slope and b y-intercept. (x,y) <-- the coordinates.

For example: y=2x+5

Here 2 is the slope and 5 is the y-intercept

If the linear equation is in this form:

4x+y = 5

it can easily be put into y=mx+b form by subtracting 4x both sides

to get:

y=-4x+5

where -4 is the slope and 5 y-intercept.

Hope this helps!
