Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of -7 and y-intercept 6.

Answer 1

Remember, in general, the equation of a line is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Answer 2

Ok so are you going to help me or not?

Answer 3

so what is the value of m?

Answer 4

I dont know what?

Answer 5

the slope is given as -7, so m = -7 since m is the slope

Answer 6

Ok

Answer 7

what about b?

Answer 8

6?

Answer 9

good

Answer 10

so

y = mx+b

turns into

what???

Answer 11

6= idont know the rest

Answer 12

you agree that m = -7 and b = 6 correct?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

so we replace m with -7 and we replace b with 6 to go from

y = mx+b

to

y = -7x+6

Answer 15

Ok and? then what

Answer 16

and that's it, that's the answer since it's in slope intercept form

Answer 17

so i write online that it's y= -7x+6

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

Can you help me with another one real fast @jim_thompson5910

Answer 20

sure

Answer 21

k thanks. here it is. write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 5 and y-intercept of -3.

Answer 22

Same idea, but this time the slope is 5, so m = 5,

The value of b is then what?

Answer 23

-3

Answer 24

good, so b = -3

Answer 25

So y = mx+b turns into what?

Answer 26

y=5x+-3

Answer 27

very good, we can write +-3 as just -3

So y = 5x+-3 can be written as y = 5x-3

Answer 28

so the final answer is y = 5x-3

Answer 29

So thats the final answer??!

Answer 30

yes

Answer 31

Thanks

Answer 32

you're welcome
