To write an equation in slope-intercept form, we use the formula:

[ y = mx + b ]

where:

– ( m ) is the slope of the line,

– ( b ) is the y-intercept (the value of ( y ) when ( x = 0 )).

For example, if we want to write the equation of a line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of -3, we would substitute these values into the formula:

[ y = 2x – 3 ]

This means that for every 1 unit increase in ( x ), ( y ) increases by 2 units, and the line crosses the y-axis at -3.
