📏 Slope Intercept Form Calculator

Convert between line equation forms

How to Use This Calculator

1

Enter Slope

Input the slope m of the line.

2

Enter Y-Intercept

Input the y-intercept b (where the line crosses the y-axis).

3

Calculate

Press "Calculate Line Equation" to get the slope-intercept form and standard form.

Formula

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Standard Form: Ax + By = C

where m is slope, b is y-intercept

Example: m = 2, b = 3

Slope-Intercept: y = 2x + 3

Standard: -2x + y = 3

Y-intercept: (0, 3)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is slope-intercept form?

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. It's the most common form for linear equations.

What is the y-intercept?

The y-intercept (b) is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the y-axis (x = 0). In y = mx + b, b is the y-intercept, so the line crosses at (0, b).

How do I convert to standard form?

From y = mx + b, rearrange to -mx + y = b. Multiply by -1 if needed to make A positive: Ax + By = C where A, B, C are integers when possible.
