Question

Write the equation in slope intercept form, given x-intercept is -2 and the y-intercept is 3

Answer 1

----------------------------------------------------------------
Given information
----------------------------------------------------------------
x-intercept = -2 , therefore coordinate = (-2. 0)
y intercept = 3, therefore coordinate = (0, 3)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope
----------------------------------------------------------------

`\boxed {Slope = (Y_2-Y_1)/(X_2-X_1) }`


`\boxed {Slope = (3 - 0)/(0 -(-2)) }`


`\boxed {Slope = (3)/(2) }`

----------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute the slope and the y-intercept into the equation
----------------------------------------------------------------
y = mx + c
y = 3/2 x + 3

----------------------------------------------------------------
Answer : 3/2 x + 3
