Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of -2 and y-intercept of 2.

OpenStudy (zale101):

y=mx+b

OpenStudy (zale101):

m is the slope b is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (zale101):

m=-2 b=2

OpenStudy (zale101):

now plug in to y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2x+2?

OpenStudy (zale101):

nope

OpenStudy (zale101):

the slope is -2 not 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okso y = -2x +2

OpenStudy (zale101):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was!

OpenStudy (zale101):

ok good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so for Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of -7 and y-intercept 6. m is -7 and b is 6 it would be y = -7x -6

OpenStudy (zale101):

why -6 though? ur question says positive 6

OpenStudy (zale101):

for the y-intercept

OpenStudy (zale101):

y=-7x+6

OpenStudy (zale101):

should be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay just got my + and - mixed up

OpenStudy (zale101):

yeah..
