how do you find slope intercept form

The slope intercept form is y = mx+b

where

m = slope

b = y intercept

 

As it is, your question doesn't make too much sense. Find the slope intercept form from what?

Maybe you mean find the slope intercept from from the standard form of a line?

If this is what you mean, you just manipulate the equation a little to get y = something

Here's an example:

"Convert 3x+2y=6 to the slope intercept form"

3x+2y=6              ---Subtract 3x from both sides

2y=-3x+6            ---Divide everything by 2

y = -3/2x+3

 

And we have it in the slope-intercept form.

Hope this helps, let me know if this isn't what you meant and give some more information as to what you did mean.
