In slope intercept form, the equation of a line is represented as:
y = mx + b
where:
- m is the slope of the line
- b is the y-intercept of the line
To convert an equation to slope intercept form, you can isolate y on one side of the equation. For example, given the equation 2x - 3y = 6, you can convert it to slope intercept form by first isolating y:
-3y = -2x + 6
y = (2/3)x - 2
Therefore, the equation in slope intercept form is y = (2/3)x - 2.
