So far, I've shown you how to find the
slope from the graph and when you have two points...
But, what if you just have the
equation?
If it's like this guy, then it's a
snap!

So, what if it's in standard form
like this?

Well, it's not too bad. We
just do a little algebra and get it into
y = mx
+ b
form.
To do this, we solve for
y:
