Yes it does

dmndlife24 · Answer

It's like saying find the slope-int. form for the line passing through (0, 0) and (-3, 2)

beccab003 · Answer

Okay. well I did the problem with the origin = (0,0) and the slope was: -2/3. Is that right?

dmndlife24 · Answer

Yes!

dmndlife24 · Answer

Do you know how to do the rest?

beccab003 · Answer

So now I plug in the 2 and -3 to find b, correct?
