Do I have to put it in point slope first since i have a point and slope?

anonymous · Answer

I know they are asking for slope intercept, so A and D are wrong.

anonymous · Answer

What is a slope?

the steepness of the straightline @AnImEfReaK

anonymous · Answer

So that is gradient. Yes you do use the slope formula here.

anonymous · Answer

And that is?

anonymous · Answer

y = mx + b

y = -2x + b

I don't know how to find b.

B is the y-intercept right?

anonymous · Answer

Yes. They gave you something else a point.

anonymous · Answer

You can substitute the x in the ordered pair in the equation and y also.|dw:1389112579377:dw|
