Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Slope m = 3/7

Point (14, 0)

Step 2: Find y-intercept b

  1. Substitute:                    0 = 3/7(14) + b
  2. Multiply:                        0 = 6 + b
  3. Isolate b:                       -6 = b
  4. Rewrite:                         b = -6

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = 3/7x - 6
