Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line with slope 3/2 and y intercept -1

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{y=\frac{3}{2}x-1}$

Start with the slope-intercept formula.

$y=mx+b$

In this formula, $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

Substitute in the slope.

$y=\frac{3}{2}x+b$

Substitute in the y-intercept.

$y=\frac{3}{2}x+(-1)$

Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting the absolute value of that same number.

$y=\frac{3}{2}x-|-1|$

Find the absolute value.

$\large\boxed{y=\frac{3}{2}x-1}$

Answer 2

Answer:

y=3/2x+-1

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula is y=mx+b

y is the total

m is the slope

x is what you're multiplying the slope by

b is the y intercept
