Question

Write the equation
for this line in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y= 2/3x+-1

Explanation:

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

`y=(2)/(3)x+(-1)`

Explanation:

The two marked points are 3 units apart horizontally and 2 units apart vertically. The right point is above the left point, so the slope is positive.

m = rise/run = 2/3

The line crosses the y-axis at y = -1, so the y-intercept is ...

b = -1

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is ...

y = mx + b

y = (2/3)x -1
