Question

Write the linear equation in slope-intercept from the information given.

Point (2, -4)
Slope= -3

Y= 1/3x + 6
Y= -3x + 2
Y= 1/3x - 6
Y= -3x - 2

Answer 1

y = -3x + 2

Explanation:

y = mx + b is slope-intercept form, so you must find m and b

m = -3 since that is the slope

b = ? so use y=mx + b and substitute what you know

-4 = -3 (2) + b so -4 = -6 + b so solve for b since 2 = b
