Slope Intercept Form
Let us take some examples to learn how to calculate the equation of the line.
x1 = 21, x2 = 23, y1 = 13, y2 = 10
Step 2: Find the slope of the line by using the given points.
Slope of the line,
m = 𝚫y/ 𝚫x
m = y2 – y1/ x2 – x1
m = (10 – (13)) / (23 – 21)
m = (10 – 13) / (23 – 21)
m = (– 3) / (2)
m = – 3 / 2
m = -1.5
Step 3: Write the general formula of the slop-intercept form.
y = mx + b
Step 4: Put the calculated slope in the formula of the slope intercept form.
y = mx + b
y = -1.5x + 40.5
x1 = -3, x2 = -20, y1 = -1, y2 = -21
Step 2: Find the slope of the line by using the given points.
Slope of the line,
m = 𝚫y/ 𝚫x
m = y2 – y1/ x2 – x1
m = (-21 – (-1)) / (-20 – (-3))
m = (-21 + 1) / (-20 + 3)
m = (-20) / (-17)
m = 20 / 17
m = 1.1765
Step 3: Write the general formula of the slop-intercept form.
y = mx + b
Step 4: Put the calculated slope in the formula of slope intercept form.
y = mx + b
y = 1.1765x + b
Step 5: Find the y intercept of the slope-intercept form by putting any pair of points and slope of lines.
y = 1.1765x + b
-1 = 1.1765(-3) + b
-1 = -3.5295 + b
-1 + 3.5295 = b
2.5295 = b
y-intercept = b = 2.5295
Step 6: Substitute the calculated values in the formula of the slope-intercept form.
y = mx + b
y = 1.1765x + 2.5295
Summary
In algebra, the slope-intercept form is the most frequently used method to express the linear equation of the line. in this article, we have discussed all the basics of this method. Now you can solve any problem easily related to the slope.
