Graph the line with slope 2/5 and y intercept -2

Question

ybarrap · Answer

y=mx+b, is general equation of a line. "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept. You have m=2/5 and b=-2. 

Any questions?

If you want to graph, make these substitutions then plug in any x and see what y you get, do that for 2 or 3 points, connect the dots together, and that will be your graph.

Okay, so basically you have a line graph. Now, the slope (or "m") is 2/5. So that's means "rise over run". It goes up 2 and over 5 spaces. If you know the y intercept is -2, then go up 2 and over 5. What is your new coordinate?

Does that make sense?

anonymous · Answer

I'm assumed the x value was 0 when i explained that to you...just saying

anonymous · Answer

did you HAVE an x value in the question?

anonymous · Answer

@ybarrap  he was right when explaining it, too
