Write the equation in y-intercept form slope 2 passes through point (5,-2)

The equation is y = 2x - 12

Equation in slope intercept form is

Where,

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Putting the value of slope in this equation:

From this we can solve the equation for b

Now, the equation of y-intercept becomes

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
