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.
