How do i find the x intercept using the slope intercept form, graphing the y intercept, then using the slope to step to the x intercept.

slope intercept form is: y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept

Once you have your slope intercept equation, solve for m.

How do i know to go left or right for run?

slope = rise/run

if the number is negative, you will go left.

Please comment if you have further questions.
