In order to write an equation in slope-intercept for for the line that passes through the given point, we must first find the slope of the line by using the formula.
For two points:
m= (y2 - y1) /(x2 -x1)
For one point:
m = y/x
or
m = rise over run
Now if we have the slope of the line, we can easily designate the equation in slope-intercept form by determining first the equation for point-slope form represented as,
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
If we solve the values in terms of y, then we'll have the slope-intercept form.
y = mx +b
