Slope Intercept Form Tutorial

  


Slope Intercept Form Definition:
     Slope Intercept Form is also called as gradient, y-intercept form. Slope Intercept Form is used to generate the Equation of a straight line with a slope m and y - intercept c of the line.

  Formula:

Slope Intercept Form :
Slope Intercept Form = y = mx + c
where
              c = y-intercept of the line,
              m = Slope of the line

Slope Intercept Form Example:
Determine the equation of the line with slope of 3 and y-intercept 2.

 slope m = 3.
 slope c = 2.

  Substitute in the formula as :

           y = mx + c

            y = (3)x + (2)

            y = 3x + 2

            Equation = 3x + 2 -y

            Equation of the Line = 3x -y + 2

The above example will clearly illustrates how to calculate the Slope Intercept Form manually.
