Question

Slope= 2/3; y-intercelpt = -1

write the linear equation described in slope-intercept form:

Answer 1

y = 2/3x -1

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is based on this template:

y = mx + b

where m = slope

and b = y-intercept

Substituting the values from your problem gives you:

y = (2/3)x + (-1)

or simplified

y = 2/3x -1

Answer 2

Answer: f(x) = (2/3)x-1 or y = (2/3)x-1

Explanation:

By plugging in the slope and y-intercept into y = mx+b, we get y = (2/3)x-1.

But since f(x) and y in this case is practically the same thing, f(x) = (2/3)x-1 works, too.
