Question

Part a.) Write the equation of the line that has a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of -6.

Part b.) Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, -2) and has a slope of -2/3.

Answer 1

Y = mx + b
Y = -2x + (-6)

Answer 2

a . y = mx + b
y = -2x -6

b. y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y +2 = -2/3 (x -6)

Answer 3

finish the last line of b by getting into slope intercept form

Answer 4

which yields y = (-2/3) x + 2
