ALGEBRA

FORMULAS: Y INTERCEPT FORM:     y = mx + b     m simbolizes the slope and b is the y intercept. this formula is also called       the slope formula.  The letters y and x are the most common used                  variables in the algebra language.  Equations are when ever there is an           equal sign ( = ) . for example        Find the value of x and y if the slope is 2/3 . and the line is moved four           spaces up.    Now we know that the formula equation is y = mx + b    It is easier if you have a visual of some sort as a grid.                                                       y

x

And if the line is moved four spaces up then that would mean it would intercept from ( 0, 0 ) and four up
