Question

A line has slope 2/3 and y–intercept −2.

Which answer is the equation of the line?

(picture is my choices)

Answer 1

The generic form of straight line consisting of slope and y intercept is given by

y = mx + c

Where 'm' is the slope of the straight line and 'c' is the y-intercept

In the problem, it is given that slope of the line is 2/3 and y intercept is -2 :

m = ²/₃

c = -2

By putting these values in the equation above, we get:

y = ²/₃x - 2

Hence, the second option is correct.

Hope it helps ..!!

Thank you :)

Answer 2

The general form of a straight line equation is given by

y = mx + c

Where 'm' is the gradient and 'c' is the y-intercept

We have:
m = ²/₃
c = -2

Plug in the value of 'm' and 'c', we have:

y = ²/₃x - 2

Answer: Second option
