y intercept

[jaz]

how do find the y intercept in an equation like (3,2) and (5,8) i know how 2 find the slope but i forgot how 2 find the y intercept

Use the straight-line equation y - y1 = m(x - x1).

Substitute in the slope, m, and either of those two points into the equation.

Rearrange to the form y = mx + c, where c gives you the y-ordinate of the y-intercept.

Can you be more careful, jaz?
(3,2) and (5,8) are coordinates of 2 points, NOT an equation:
an equation has an equal sign.

And "how 2 find" should be "how to find": numbers DO NOT replace words :evil:
