Slope-Intercept Form Calculator

Math
0.0(0)

Converts a linear equation to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) or finds the form given slope and intercept.

How To Use

How to use this calculator

Start with your values, or try a preset.

Step 1

Enter X-coordinate of a point (if converting from point-slope form), Y-coordinate of a point (if converting from point-slope form), Slope (m), and Y-intercept (b) in the units shown.

Step 2

Read Slope (m), Y-Intercept (b), and Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b) in the results panel. Results update as you change the inputs.

Step 3

Choose a preset to load an example, then adjust the values for your situation.

Worked Examples

Example calculations

See the inputs and their calculated results.

Slope = 2, Intercept = 3

X-coordinate of a point (if converting from point-slope form): 0; Y-coordinate of a point (if converting from point-slope form): 0; Slope (m): 2; Y-intercept (b): 3

Slope (m): 2; Y-Intercept (b): 3; Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b): y = 2x + 3

Slope = -1, Intercept = 5

X-coordinate of a point (if converting from point-slope form): 0; Y-coordinate of a point (if converting from point-slope form): 0; Slope (m): -1; Y-intercept (b): 5

Slope (m): -1; Y-Intercept (b): 5; Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b): y = -1x + 5

Slope = 0.5, Intercept = -2

X-coordinate of a point (if converting from point-slope form): 0; Y-coordinate of a point (if converting from point-slope form): 0; Slope (m): 0.5; Y-intercept (b): -2

Slope (m): 0.5; Y-Intercept (b): -2; Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b): y = 0.5x + -2
