Slope-Intercept Form: Quick Review

In algebra, the slope-intercept form of a linear equation is expressed in the form y=mx+b where m represents the slope of the line and b represents the line’s y-intercept. Note that m and b are both placeholders for numbers (integers or fractions).

While slope-intercept form is not the only way to express a linear equation, is it widely considered to be the most useful. If you know the slope-intercept form equation of a line, you can easily determine its slope and y-intercept. And, when you know the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, you can easily graph that line on the coordinate plane.

Students can easily grasp and apply slope-intercept form provided that they have a firm understanding of both slope and y-intercept.

Slope refers to the steepness of a line and there are four types of slope:

• Positive Slope ↗️

• Negative Slope ↘️

• Zero Slope ↔️

• Undefined Slope ↕️

We often refer to slope in terms or “rise over run” where slope is represented as a fraction where the numerator represents the rise(change in y) and the denominator represents the run (change in x).

The y-intercept refers to where the line crosses the y-axis.

In the case of a linear function with equation y=mx+b, b represents the y-intercept and will have coordinate points at (0,b).

For example, the linear equation y=3x-2 has a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -2. This means that the graph will intersect the y-axis at the point (0,-2) as shown in the diagram below.

As long as you know how to determine the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation or from a given graph, you will be able to understand slope-intercept form and solve problems involving slope-intercept form.
