Question

Write the equation in y-intercept form slope 2 passes through point (5,-2)

Answer 1

Answer

The equation is y = 2x - 12

Explanation

Equation in slope intercept form is

$y = mx + b$

Where,

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Putting the value of slope in this equation:

$y = 2x + b$

From this we can solve the equation for b

$b = y - 2x$

$b = -2 - 2(5)$

$b = -12$

Now, the equation of y-intercept becomes

$y = 2x - 12$
