Slope Intercept Form

Y intercept The y-intercept is

the point where a line crosses the y axis.

At this point the value of x is 0.

Y intercept To find the y-

intercept, plug 0 in for x in the linear equation and solve for y.

y=3x-6 (0, -6)

Slope y=3x-6 To find the slope first

find 2 points. (2, 0) and (0, -6) Then substitute in and

solve
