Question

What is the equation of the line written in general form?

https://media.glynlyon.com/g_alg01_2012/3/t20.gif

Answer 1

\[y=mx+b\]
m = slope of line
b = y-intercept

Answer 2

Where does the line intersect the y-axis?

Answer 3

-2

Answer 4

Right and what is the slope?

Answer 5

So..b = -2. What is m?

Answer 6

um i dont know

Answer 7

Slope = rise over run

Answer 8

For every unit this line in particular shifts right, it rises 3 units.

Answer 9

So the slope would be
\[\frac{ rise }{ run } = \frac{ 3 }{ 1 }\]

Answer 10

Ok

Answer 11

So what would the equation be?

Answer 12

i have no clue

Answer 13

y = mx+b
We solved for m and b.

Answer 14

m is the slope (3)
b is the y-intercept (-2)

Answer 15

3x + y - 2 = 0?

Answer 16

y = 3x-2

Answer 17

yea but in general form?

Answer 18

Move it all to one side.
-3x+y+2=0

Answer 19

ok

Answer 20

or 3x-y-2=0

Answer 21

are they both correct?

Answer 22

Yes.

Answer 23

Ok thank you so much
