Question

Write the standard form of the line that has a slope of - and y-intercept of -2. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution.

Answer 1

slpe intercept form is
y = mx + b where m=slope and b = y-intercept

so here we have
y = -x - 2

standard form is x + y = -2

Answer 2

You need to go from slope-intercept (
`y=mx+b`) to standard form (
`ax + by = c`).

slope-intercept form of your provided values:

`y=-x-2`
now, solve for x and y

`x+y=-2`

Your answer is
`x+y=-2`.
