What is the equation of the line that has a slope of -1/3 and a y-intercept 5/2?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Plug it into the slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

·         Find the slope and the y-intercept, and write an equation of the line.
·         Given the slope and a point on the line, write an equation of the line.
·         Given two points, write the equation of a line.

What?

anonymous · Answer

@ms1231988 Can you make the equation now?

anonymous · Answer

Y=MX+B So 5/2=1/3+b?

anonymous · Answer

Im so confused, im sorry.

anonymous · Answer

No, you keep 'y' the same..and you keep 'x' there..

$\sf y = mx + b$

We are going to replace $\sf m$ with $\sf -1/3$ and $\sf b$ with $\sf 5/2$.

anonymous · Answer

y=-1/3+5/2 ...?

anonymous · Answer

Yes..but we keep the 'x' there:

$\sf y = -1/3x + 5/2$
