Question

Write the linear equation in slope-intercept form. 1/3x+y=-2

A) y=-1/3x+2
B) y=-1/3x-2
C) y=-3x-2
D) X=-3y+2/3

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form:

`y=mx+b`

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation of a line
`(1)/(3)x+y=-2`

Convert to the slope-intercept form:

`(1)/(3)x+y=-2` subtract 1/3x from both sides

`\boxed{y=-(1)/(3)x-2}\to\boxed{B.}`
