Question

Which equation form is the best to find the y-intercept?

Answer 1

Hi! I hope you're enjoying your day!

The best equation form is Slope-Intercept form (y=mx+b), where the letter m stands for the slope of the line and the letter b stands for the y-intercept of the line (where the graph touches the y-axis).

Why is Slope-Intercept the best form?

Because if you know y=mx+b, and you know what every variable means (m & b), then all you have to do is look at the equation and determine the y-intercept.

Example:

Suppose we have the following equation:

`\bold{y=0.7x-6}`

What is the y-intercept of this line?

Hint: Look at the equation.

That's right. The y-intercept is -6.

Hence, the best equation form is

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Slope-Intercept\:Form}}}`

Hope everything is clear.
