Question

Give the equation of the line with a slope of −7 and a y-intercept of 2 .

Answer 1

Given:

The equation of the line with a slope of −7 and a y-intercept of 2

Required:

Write the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation of a line: Slope - intercept form

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ y\text{ = y coordinate } \\ m=\text{ slope} \\ x=\text{ x coordinate} \\ b=\text{ y intercept} \end{gathered}`

We have slope m = -7 and y - intercept 2.

`y=-7x+2`

Answer:

The line is y = -7x + 2.
