Question

how do i do this problem:write an equation of a line that has the same slope as y=2/3+5 with a y intercept of -8?

Answer 1

well, comparing to y=mx+b, you know that 5 is the y-intercept of the equation

just substitute -8 instead of 5.

Answer 2

so would it be y=2/3x -8??

Answer 3

Yup!

Answer 4

wait but if i graph it on a coordinate plane wouldnt look like a different slope tho??
