Question

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -2

Answer 1

when it says the slope is a number like 3 just put a x behind it

Answer 2

and the y intercept is if it moves up or down so that goes on the end:)

Answer 3

I'm still really confused haha

Answer 4

the slope intercept form is called this because it uses the slope and the intercept to form the equation:

when given a slope: m
and a y intercept: c

the slope intercept from is simply:

y = mx + c

Answer 5

mx is the slope right?

Answer 6

The slope intercept formula is y=mx+b

Where only (m) is the slope and (b) is the y intercept

For example let's say you have y=6x+4

The slope is (6) and the y intercept is (4).

In order to put something in a slope intercept formula you need the slope and the y intercept. In your question you are given the slope 3 and a y-intercept of -2. So all you have to do is plug it in into the formula which is y=mx+b

So your answer is y=3x-2. Hope this helps
