Identify the slope and y-intercept of this equation and then show the steps to convert to standard form

y=9x+7

The slope is the factor in front of x, so slope is 9.

The y intercept is 7 (that's the point of cross the y axis, where x=0)

There are multiple definitions of "standard form" for lines, so here are the two i can think of:

9x - y = -7 (the implicit function form)

or

y-7 = 9*(x-0) (the point-slope form)

Lmk if you have questions.
