Pls help

Zoey is trying to write an equation in slope intercept form. She knows slope intercept form is y=mx+b. She is given the slope is 3 and the y intercept is 10. When she plugs it in she gets 10=3x+b. What mistake did zoey make and how can she fix it?

Answer:

the mistake that zoey had made while writing the equation was putting the y-intercept in the wrong place.in the slope intercept from the equation is y=mx+b.y is the product or the line, m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, the actual equation should be y=3x+10,instead what zoey had which was 10=3x+b. she guessd by pairing the y-intercept with y instead of b.
