What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that passes through (0, -2)
and has a slope of -3? (5 points)
O 1) y = -3x - 2
O 2 y=-3x+ 2
O3) y = –2x+3
O 4) y = -2x - 3

Answer:

O1

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

We are given a point: (0,-2) and a slope; -3.

we can substitute the numbers into the equation above, with what we know, to find b.

-2=-3(0)+b

multiply

-2=0+b

-2=b

so the y intercept is -2.

Since we know that the slope is -3, and the y intercept is -2, the equation is y=-3x-2

Therefore O1 is your answer

Hope this helps!
