Question

Write the equation of the line below in slope intercept form.

Answer 1

Any idea how to start?

Answer 2

i know you need to pick two points and put them into that equation im just a little fuzzy and don't have my notes

Answer 3

Ok.
Lets pick two points
(-6,0) and (0,-2)
Can you find the slope?

Answer 4

2/-6

Answer 5

Yes. And you can simplify to -1/3
So that's the slope.

And if you look at your graph, the line intercepts at the y-axis at -2

Answer 6

And remember slope intercept form is y=mx+b
Where m=slope and b=y-intercept

So lug them in

y= -1/3x -2
