What is the slope-intercept form of the function that contains the point (–3, 2) and has a slope of –2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = x +

Nnesha (nnesha):

^_^ y = mx + b where m is slope which is always with x and b is y-intercept slope is -2 so replace m by -2

Nnesha (nnesha):

then use (-3,2) order pair and replace x and y by their values and solve for b again remember in order pair first value is x and 2nd one is y

Nnesha (nnesha):

understand ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

Nnesha (nnesha):

what u got ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = -2x + b

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay good now replace x and y by their values

Nnesha (nnesha):

(x , y ) use this order pair ( -3, 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (-3,2) is the function?

Nnesha (nnesha):

this is order pair they gave u to find y -intercept which is b in the equation

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1424049583198:dw| -3 is x 2 is y so replace that now
