Question

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

Answer 1

y = -3x-2

Explanation:

• Replace m with -3, which is the slope

• replace b with -2, = y-intercept into the equation y=mx+b.

`m = -3\\y - intercept = -2\\Slope\: intercept \: form :\\y =mx+c\\y = -3x-2`

Answer 2

y = -3x - 2

Explanation:

Step 1: State what is known

Slope = m = -3

y-intercept = b = -2

Step 2: Substitute information into y = mx + b

y = (-3)x + (-2)

y = -3x -2

Therefore the equation in slop intercept form is y=-3x-2
