By examining the equation of a line you quickly can discern its slope and y-intercept where the line crosses the y-axis. Extract the y-intercept value from the equation displayed on the graph. The equation will be in the form y mx b where m is a number corresponding to the slope and b is a number corresponding.
The following line passes through the point 5 comma 8 and the equation of the line is y is equal to 1713x plus b.
If you know the slope m any y-intercept b of a line this page will show you how to find the equation of the line. Enter the linear equation you want to find the slope and y-intercept for into the editor. The equation will be in the form y mx b where m is a number corresponding to the slope and b is a number corresponding. Shows how to get the slope intercept equation of a line if given the y intercept and point that is on the line.
