Question

Describe the procedure you
performed to derive the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.

Answer 1

Answer:y=mx+b

Explanation:

To summarize how to write a linear equation using the slope-interception form you

Identify the slope, m. This can be done by calculating the slope between two known points of the line using the slope formula.

Find the y-intercept. This can be done by substituting the slope and the coordinates of a point (x, y) on the line in the slope-intercept formula and then solve for b.

Once you've got both m and b you can just put them in the equation at their respective position.

Answer 2

1. You first have to find the slope

2. Next, you have to find the y-intercept

3. Finally, you have to put it in y = mx + b form.

Explanation:

The slope of 2 points is;
`(y_(2)- y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

The y-intercept is;
`y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1) )`

y = mx + b

m is always the slope

b is always the starting point or y-intercept
