Question

How do i find slope intercept form for (3,5), m=-2

Answer 1

y = - 2x + 11

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

here m = - 2, hence

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (3, 5) into the partial equation

5 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 6 = 11

y = - 2x + 11 ← equation in slope-intercept form
