Question

Write the linear equation in slope-intercept form. 1/3x+y=-2

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation of a line $\dfrac{1}{3}x+y=-2$

Convert to the slope-intercept form:

$\dfrac{1}{3}x+y=-2$         subtract 1/3x from both sides

$\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-2}\to\boxed{B.}$
