Calculating equation of a line from slope and intercept

Algebra I: Calculating equation of a line from slope and intercept

This is a free lesson from our course in Algebra I


	In this lesson you'll learn how to calculate and determine equation of a line from its slope and intercept. The final form of equation of the line is known as the slope and intercept form, and may be already known to many learners. Generally speaking, if we know that a line has slope m and a y-intercept of (0, b), then the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line is y = mx + b. To be able to use slope intercept form, all that you need to be able to : � find the slope of a line and � find the y-intercept of a line. (More text below video...)

	(Continued from above) In general, the slope intercept form assumes the fomula: y= mx +b. where, m = slope of the line and b = y-intercept y = 7x + 8 is an example of the Slope Intercept Form and represents the equation of a line with a slope of 7 and a y-intercept of 8 ."

	As many of you know, Winpossible's online courses use a unique teaching method where an instructor explains the concepts in any given area to you in his/her own voice and handwriting, just like you see your teacher explain things to you on a blackboard in your classroom. This particular lesson includes the teacher's instruction, practice questions as well as end-of-lesson quizzes for practice.
