Easy peasy! Just use the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) and rearrange it to get y = mx + b. First, distribute the slope (m), then add y1 to both sides. Done!

Just solve for y in the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1). That鈥檒l give you y = mx + b, the slope-intercept form.

All you need to do is rearrange the point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) to get y = mx + b. Start by distributing m through the parentheses and then solve for y. Voila, you鈥檝e got the slope-intercept form!

True story: my math teacher had us do this like a million times. Just distribute m and then isolate y. Works like a charm every time!
