Question

slope -2/3, y intercept (0,5)

Answer 1

start with y = mx + b, which is your general slope intercept form

Answer 2

where

m = slope
b = y-intercept

Answer 3

because the slope is -2/3, we know that m = -2/3

and because the y intercept is (0,5), we know that b = 5

Answer 4

put this all together to go from

y = mx+b

to

\[\large y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 5\]

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

@jim_thompson5910 is right @frogula (:

Answer 7

thank you i have problems doing these

Answer 8

yw

Answer 9

ok well i may have another for you tho

Answer 10

write each equation in slope-intercept form then identify the slope and the y -intercept for each line 2x-y=12

Answer 11

solve 2x-y=12 for y

in other words, isolate y

Answer 12

so would it be 6 then

Answer 13

2x-y=12

-y=12-2x ... Subtract 2x from both sides.

y = -12 + 2x ... multiply everything by -1 to isolate y

y = 2x - 12 .. rearrange terms

Answer 14

now compare y = 2x - 12 with y = mx+b
