Question

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that passes through (0, 7) and has a slope of -23.

Answer 1

y = -23x + 7

Step-by-step explanation

We are using the equation y = mx + b.

The slope (m) is -23, so it would be y = -23 + b.

b is the y-intercept, and the ordered pair that gives us the y-intercept is (0,7).

Remember that the y-intercept is what the y-coordinate is equal to when the x-coordinate is 0.
