Exercise 17 Page 312

What format does an equation in slope-intercept form follow?

y=3x+2

Practice makes perfect
Equations in slope-intercept form follow a specific format. y= mx+ b In the above formula, m represents the slope and b the y-intercept of the line. We are told that the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 2. Therefore, m= 3 and b= 2. We can substitute these to obtain the equation of the line.
y=mx+b
y= 3x+ 2
