Question

Which equation reprints the slope intercept form of the line below ? Y- intercept = (0,2) slope = -3/7

Answer 1

y =
`-(3)/(7) x` + 2

Explanation:

The y-intercept of the line is (0,2)

The slope of the line is
`-(3)/(7)`

We derive the slope of a line by dividing the change in y by the change in x

So,

`(y - 2)/(x - 0)` =
`-(3)/(7)`

y - 2 =
`-(3)/(7) x`

The equation of the line therefore is;

y =
`-(3)/(7) x` + 2
