Question

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers.

Answer 1

y=-3/2x+3

Explanation:

The slope is -3/2x because it's going down 3 and to the right 2.

And it intercepts the y-axis at 3. Thus, 3 is the y-intercept.

Answer 2

y = -3/2 x +3

Explanation:

We can use the slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The y intercept is 3

Now to find the slope

Pick two points on the line

( 0,3) and ( 2,0)

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

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

= -3/2

The equation of the line is

y = -3/2 x +3
