y and x intercept

standard form

Ax + By =c

what information does point-slope form give us

a point on the line (x,y) and the slope

how do you find the x-axis ofa line

plug in zero for x and solve for y. The answer will be a point (x,0)

slope

rise/run, m, steepness of a line

slope intercept form

y = mx + b

how do you find the y-intercept of a line

plug in zero for x and solve for y. the answer will be a point (0,y)

what does the m stand for in y=mx + b

slope of the line

what does the b stand for in y=mx + b

the y-intercept where it crosses the y-axis

x-intercept

where a line crosses the x-axis (x,0)

y-intercept

where a line crosses the y-axis (0,y)
