So let's look at first what slope-intercept form is. Slope intercept form is actually y equals mx plus b. The reason why it is called slope intercept form is because it gives a slope and an intercept.

In order to graph linear equations by finding intercepts, we must remember what an x and y intercept are. So remember that in an x-intercept it’s the y that equals zero, and for the y-intercept it’s ...
