The value of "b" is the y-intercept.

In order to figure out slope-intercept form you need 1 coordinate and the slope.
1) Find the slope, using the 2-point slope formula: "m= y2-y1 / x2-x1".
   ex. m= -5 - 3 / -4 - -6   (simplify)--->   m= -4

2) Fill in the blanks for point-slope formula: "y - y1 = m (x - x1)"
(choose one coordinate, it doesn't matter which one)
   ex. y - -5 = -4 (x - -4)

3) Then use basic algebra to simplify.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

y = -2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of an equation is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We have a slope of -2 and a y intercept of 3

y = -2x+3

What is x^2-1-3(2x-2)(x-2)
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

=−5x2+18x−13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

x2−1−3(2x−2)(x−2)

Distribute:

=x2+−1+−6x2+18x+−12

Combine Like Terms:

=x2+−1+−6x2+18x+−12

=(x2+−6x2)+(18x)+(−1+−12)

=−5x2+18x+−13

Answer:

=−5x2+18x−13
