Question

LAST QUESTION HELP PLEASE:) Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with the given slope and point: slope = 3 and (1, -2).

Answer 1

slope = 3 and (1, -2)
--------------------
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept is the general slope y-intercept form of a line.

Answer 2

In this problem,

y = 3x + b

Now, we have to sove for b.

Answer 3

(1, -2) is a point on the line.

So, x = 1 and y = -2 can be used to slope for b.

Answer 4

y = 3x + b

-2 = 3*(1) + b --> @MerissaTheBerissa --> Your task is to solve for b. Let's see what you get. We'll compare answers.

Answer 5

What did you get for b?
