Question

How do you find the y-intercept of a line if you have the slope and a point? Describe the steps in order.

Answer 1

Using the "slope-intercept" form of the line's equation (y = mx + b), you solve for b (which is the y-intercept you're looking for). Substitute the known slope for m, and substitute the known point's coordinates for x and y, respectively, in the slope-intercept equation. That will let you find b.

Hope that helps!!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

it's the y value of the point where the line intersects the y- axis. For this line, the y-intercept is "negative 1." You can find the y-intercept by looking at the graph and seeing which point crosses the y axis.
