what is the slope intercept form

Answer:
Find slope first:
[tex]m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} [/tex]
Substitute a TWO points into the above slope formula:
Points: (-2, 0) and (0, 1)
[tex]m = \frac{0 - 1}{ - 2 - 0} [/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Slope is (1 / 2).
Substitute slope into slope point formula:
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y - y1 = (1 / 2) (x - x1)
Substitute a point in the above equation:
Sub point (0, 1)
y - 1 = (1/2) (x - 0)
y - 1 = 1/2x
Get equation by solving for y:
y = 1/2x + 1
