How to find slope intercept

Introduction:

     An area of surface that tends evenly towards top or down is called as slope. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line. For finding slope intercept we need to know the following things.

Finding slope intercept form:

Slope intercepts form:

The standard form of a line i! s,

ax+by+c=0    

We can express the line as slope intercept form. The slope intercept form of a line is,

y=mx+b, Where m is slope of a line and b is y-intercept of a line.

Finding slope Intercept:

When two points are given, we can use the following formula to find the slope intercept form of a line,

(y-y1)=m(x-x1), where m is slope,(x1,y1) is one point in the line

The slope m can be obtained by using the following formula,

m= (y2-y1)/! (x2-x1), here (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the

points in a line or segment.

Or

y-y1/y2-y1=x-x1/x2-x1
