Slope-intercept form

The Slope-intercept form of a straight line is given by:

$y=mx+b$, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Graphing on a Graph

let's take the equation $y={\frac {1}{4}}x+5$, where the slope is $\frac{1}{4}$ and the y-intercept is 5.

y-intercept

5 is the y-intercept.

Point 1: $(0,5)$

Slope

$\frac{1}{4}$ is the slope.

Point 2: $(1,4)$

making the plot $(0,5)(1,4)$.
