Question

Write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3/1x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the slope

The points I will use are (-1,5) and (0,2), where x1 = -1, y1 = 5, x2 =0, and y2 =2.

y2-y1/x2-x1

2-5/0-(-1) = -3/1

2. Find the y-intercepy

y = mx + b

You can use any x or y point. I'll use (-1,5)

m= slope, which is -3/1

5= -3/1(-1) +b

5= 3 + b

Subtract 3 from 5 and 3 to get 2=b.

3. Rewrite in slope-intercept form

y = -3/1x + 2
