To find:

The slope intercept form of the given equation.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is:


image

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We have,


image

It is not in the slope intercept form.

We need to isolate variable y to get the slope intercept form.

The given equation can be rewritten as:
