Slope-Intercept Form - Solution and Explanation

____________________________________________

Hello! So...

We are given the following to convert:

Convert into Slope-Intercept Form

(-2, 5), slope = -4

____________________________

1. Compute the line equation y = mx + b for slope. In this case, our slope (m) equals -4, and passes through (-2, 5).

____________________________

2. Determine the y-intercept. In this case, b = -3.

____________________________

3. Now, construct the line equation (y = mx + b), where m = -4 and b = -3. Then, you will have your converted solution in Slope-Intercept Form.

Slope-Intercept Form:


y=-4x-3
