How do you find the slope and y-intercept of an equation?

How do you find the y-intercept step by step?

How do you find the y-intercept when given two points?

Steps to find the equation of a line from two points:
  1. Find the slope using the slope formula. …
  2. Use the slope and one of the points to solve for the y-intercept (b). …
  3. Once you know the value for m and the value for b, you can plug these into the slope-intercept form of a line (y = mx + b) to get the equation for the line.
