Question

Write the equation in slope intercept form, given x-intercept is -2 and the y-intercept is 3

Answer 1

----------------------------------------------------------------
Given information
----------------------------------------------------------------
x-intercept = -2 , therefore coordinate = (-2. 0)
y intercept = 3, therefore coordinate = (0, 3)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope
----------------------------------------------------------------
$\boxed {Slope = \frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1} }$

$\boxed {Slope = \frac{3 - 0}{0 -(-2)} }$

$\boxed {Slope = \frac{3}{2} }$

----------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute the slope and the y-intercept into the equation
----------------------------------------------------------------
y = mx + c
y = 3/2 x + 3

----------------------------------------------------------------
Answer : 3/2 x + 3
