Question

Find the slope intercept form for the line satisfying the following conditions.
x-intercept 2, y-intercept 2/3

anonymous · Answer

do you know how to find the slope of a line through any two given points?

anonymous · Answer

The only thing that is coming into my mind is y = mx + b.

australopithecus · Answer

you can write the x-intercept as a point

anonymous · Answer

ok...so is it y=2x + 2/3

australopithecus · Answer

incorrect

australopithecus · Answer

first thing you should do is write the x-intercept as a point

australopithecus · Answer

if you do not know how to do that look up the definition of an x-intercept

australopithecus · Answer

why did you make 2 = m

remember m = slope

australopithecus · Answer

you are trying to solve for m

anonymous · Answer

an x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero

australopithecus · Answer

well if you know that then

you should be able to write the point for the x-intercept, then plug it into your y=mx+b equation and solve for m

anonymous · Answer

0=2m+2/3

australopithecus · Answer

looks good now solve for m

australopithecus · Answer

and you have your answer

anonymous · Answer

I have been instructed to type an equation.  So is that my answer?

australopithecus · Answer

you have to solve for m then sub that into the equation of the line with your y-intercept
