Question

If one point on a line is (-2,8) and the line’s slope is -3/2 find the y intercept

Answer 1

Answer:

The y intercept is 5

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

y = -3/2x+b

Substitute the point into the equation and solve for b

8 = -3/2(-2)+b

8 = 3+b

8-3 =b

5=b

The y intercept is 5
