Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line with slope 3/2 and y intercept -1

Answer 1

y=3/2x+-1

Explanation:

the formula is y=mx+b

y is the total

m is the slope

x is what you're multiplying the slope by

b is the y intercept

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{y=(3)/(2)x-1}`

Start with the slope-intercept formula.

`y=mx+b`

In this formula,
`m` is the slope and
`b` is the y-intercept.

Substitute in the slope.

`y=(3)/(2)x+b`

Substitute in the y-intercept.

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

Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting the absolute value of that same number.

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

Find the absolute value.

`\large\boxed{y=(3)/(2)x-1}`
