Question

Write an equation of the line in slope intercept form

The coordinates for the line are (0,2) and (-3,-1)

Answer 1

Y=x+2

Step-by-step explanation: slope is y2-y1/x2-x1. That equals -3/-3. The slope equals 1. Plug the slope and one point into y=Mx+b. After plugging (0,2) and the slope in, we get 2=b. Plug b and the slope in the general formula and you get y=x+2.

Answer 2

• y = x + 2

Explanation:

Slope intercept form:

• y = mx + b, where m- slope, b- y-intercept

Given points:

• (0, 2) and (-3, - 1)

The y-intercept is given wit the first point, b = 2

Find the slope:

• m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (- 1 - 2)/ (- 3 - 0) = - 3 / - 3 = 1

The line is:

• y = x + 2
