What is the equation of the line that has a slope of –2 and a y-intercept of 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try putting it into the slope-intercept form equation of a line, which is: y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (shamim):

m=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, you got the slope, but it wants the equation on a line, so try putting it into my equation y=mx+b (m = slope, b = y intercept)

OpenStudy (shamim):

b=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 0?

OpenStudy (shamim):

y=-2x+0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer choices: y=2 y=-2 y=0 y=-2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, it would just be y = -2x, because the 0 isn't really necessary information
