Question

(0, 3) and (-2, -1)

Write an equation in slope intercept from of the line that passes through the given points.

Answer 1

y = 2x + 3

Explanation:

Slope Formula:
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Find slope m

m = (-1 - 3)/(-2 - 0)

m = -4/-2

m = 2

y = 2x + b

Step 2: Rewrite equation

y = 2x + 3

*You are given y-intercept (0, 3), so simply add it to your equation.
