Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 7 and y-intercept of 1.

 

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is

 

y = m*x + b;  m is the slope, i.e. m = dy/dx and b is the "y-intercept:, i.e. the value of y where x=0.

 

You are given the slope as 7 and the y-intercept as 1.

 

So, the equation is

 

y = 7*x + 1

 

 

Answer 2

y=mx+b Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept is the standard form for a line. m and b are just symbols that have been used to represent the slope and intercept.

 

In your case y=7x+1 is the answer
