Find the x and y intercepts in a given linear equation written in slope intercept form. Piece of cake! There are just two things to do. First, substitute 0 for x and solve to find the y-value. Then substitute 0 for y to find the value of...

The x-intercept is the point at which the line of the equation crosses the x-axis. The y-intercept is the point at which the line of the same equation crosses the y-axis. It's as easy as that. Look at your graph and note these locations.

An equation can be gotten from the graph of a line. Yes, it can. Watch this video and follow the instructor as she goes step-by-step explaining and illustrating how to get an equation from information from the graph of a line.

Given two points on a line, write an equation in slope-intercept form. But what's the slope? Oh, you have to figure out the slope first. That can be done given the two points. Just use the rise over run slope formula. This isn't so hard...
