Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of -2 and y-intercept of 2.

Answer 1

y= -2x +2

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form:

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given that the slope is -2, m= -2.

Substitute m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

Given that the y-intercept is 2, c= 2.

Substitute c=2 into the equation:

y= -2x +2
