Write the equation of the line with x-intercept -2 and y-intercept -1 in slope-intercept form

The x-intercept of -2 gives us an idea that point (-2,0) if found along the line. The y-intercept of -1, tells us that point (0,-1), this also tells us that b = -1.

Now that we have two points, we can solve for slope m

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{Given two points} \\ (-2,0)\rightarrow(x_1,y_1) \\ (0,-1)\rightarrow(x_2,y_2) \\  \\ \text{Substitute} \\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{-1-0}{0-(-2)} \\ m=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Now that we have both m and b. Substitute these values to the slope intercept form

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope intercept form is} \\ y=mx+b \\ \text{where} \\ m\text{ is the slope} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept} \\  \\ \text{Substitute the values from before and we get} \\ y=-\frac{1}{2}x-1 \end{gathered}

A line passes through the points (0, -2) and (0, 5). Is it possible to write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form? ju
Feliz [49]
Consider what the slope of this line would be. Slope is rise/run; this line rises 7 (5 - (-2)) and runs 0 (0 - 0). This means that the slope would be 7/0. Dividing by zero is not possible, therefore, it cannot be written in slope-intercept form.

Write the linear equation from the given information in slope intercept form (-1,3); slope=-3​
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

<h3>y = -3x</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard expression of equation of a  line in slope-intercept form is expressed as;

y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Given

slope m = -3

Point (x, y) = (-1, 3)

x = -1 and y = 3

Get the intercept

To get the intercept c, we will substitute the given values into the equation above to have;

y = mx+c

3 = -3(-1)+c

3 = 3 + c

c = 3-3

c = 0

Substitute m = -3 and c = 0 into the equation above;

y = mx+c

y = -3x+0

y = -3x

Hence the required linear equation is y = -3x
