Question

Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept from with the given slope, slope:–3/4, y-intercept: –2

Answer 1

Answer: y=-3/4x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept from with the given slope, slope:–3/4, y-intercept: –2

The y-intercept is at  (0,-2)

Then we write the equation using y=mx+b becuase that is the point slope form.

m=-3/4 which was given in the question

because y-intercept is at (0,-2)

y=-2  

x=0

-2=-3/4(0)+b

-2=0+b

-2=b

now we know that m is -3/4 and b is -2

Hence the equation is y=-3/4x-2
