Convert the following equation from point slope to slope intercept form.
In other words, if the equation is rewritten to look like y = mx + b
, what are the values of m
and b
?
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y = \space
m\space \cdot x + \space
b
Distribute the m
in the m(x - x1)
term on the right.
y - y1 = \blue{expr([ "*", m, "x" ]) - var1}
Isolate the y term on the left by
subtracting -y1
from both sides.
adding y1
to both sides.
y = expr([ "*", m, "x" ]) - var1 + y1
Combine the constant terms on the right.
y = expr([ "*", m, "x" ]) + b
The equation is now in slope-intercept form, with a slope of m
and a y-intercept of b
.
