how do you do slope intercept form

OpenStudy (lucaz):

y = mx + b m is the slope b is the y-intercept (when x=0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how would you solve y=-2x+5

OpenStudy (lucaz):

you need some value for x, or y

OpenStudy (lucaz):

unless you're asked, find the slope, or find the y-int

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would that be 5?

OpenStudy (lucaz):

when x=0 y is 5

OpenStudy (lucaz):

5 is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok and the -2x is the x intercept?

OpenStudy (lucaz):

no, -2 is the slope.. you find the x-intercept by the same idea, when y=0

OpenStudy (lucaz):

let me show you..
