Answer:
To solve, you must know the names of the parts of the equation of the line.
m = slope
b = intercept
(x, y) is your point
y-intercept means that when x = 0, y = (whatever the number will be)
slope-intercept form means that you are solving for when the slope intercepts the y-axis.

y=mx+b is called the slope intercept form since ‘m’ represents the slope of the equation and ‘b’ represents the y intercept.
