Question

please help

Answer 1

Part a.) Write the equation of the line that has a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of -6. (5 points)

Part b.) Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (6, -2) and has a slope of -2/3. (5 points)

Answer 2

The general form of such a line is y=ax+b.
a is the slope,
b is the y-intercept.

You can get the answer to Part a.) by just substituting!

Part b.) is a little harder.
The slope is not the problem (see above).
Write down the equation with the appropriate slope.
How to calculate b now?
Point (6,-2) is on the line, so if you substitute x=6 and y = -2, you can get b.
