Question

Find an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the indicated slope:

Answer 1

Y=3x-2 because (0,-2) is the y intercept (b) and m is the slope.

Answer 2

   y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-2) = 3(x - 0)
   y + 2 = 3(x) - 3(0)
   y + 2 = 3x - 0
       - 2         - 2
         y = 3x - 2
