Question

Select the correct answer. 3 A linear function has a y-intercept of -12 and a slope of 3/2. What is the equation of the line?

a. y = 3/2x - 12
b.y=3/2x+12
c.y=2/3x-12
d y=-12x-3/2
​

Answer 1

a. y = 3/2x - 12

Explanation:

Slope is y = mx + b

Slope or m = 3/2

y-intercept or b = -12

Substitute m for 3/2 and b for -12 then the answer would be y = 3/2x - 12
