Question

Find an equation of the line with the given y-intercept and slope m.

3.2, m = -2.4
The equation of the line is
(Type your answer in slope-intercept form.)

Answer 1

y = -2.4x + 32

or y = -12/5x + 16/5

or 12x + 5y = 16

Explanation:

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

replace the m with the slope and b with y intercept

y = -2.4x + 3.2

with fractions instead of decimals its

y = -12/5x + 16/5

you could also write it like this I think

12x + 5y = 16

whatever way you were taught, do it

(sorry I don't have one straight answer: I did that once and a kid got a bad grade because that wasn't how he/she learned it)
