Jonathan E. Ex: -9,4 with the slope of 7, what is the y-intercept? Is there an equation I could use. More 1 Expert Answer
Ty D. answered • 10/18/18 Educator with 10+ years of experience from K-12 First you can write the equation in the form of y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept by plugging in the given point and the slope and solving for b. y = mx + b 4 = 7(-9) + b 4 = -63 + b 4 + 63 = b 67 = b The y-intercept is (0,67) Still looking for help?
