Understanding General Form to Slope-Intercept Form

In mathematics, a linear equation can be represented in different forms. The General Form of a linear equation is given by $$Ax + By + C = 0$$, where A, B, and C are constants, and x and y are variables.

The Slope-Intercept Form, on the other hand, is $$y = mx + b$$, where 'm' is the slope of the line and 'b' is the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis). This form is particularly useful because the slope and y-intercept are immediately apparent.

This tool helps you convert from General Form to Slope-Intercept Form, making it easier to understand and visualize linear equations. The slope (m) is calculated as $$m = -\frac{A}{B}$$, and the y-intercept (b) is calculated as $$b = -\frac{C}{B}$$. By converting to slope-intercept form, you can quickly graph the line and understand its properties.
