What is the slope-intercept form of the function that contains the point (1, –2) and has a slope of –3? y = [ ] x + [ ]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Medals, fans, etc will be given out.

Nnesha (nnesha):

y =mx + b slope intercept form where m is slope and b is y-intercept so replace m by -3 and x and y variables by ( 1,-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y = 1 x + -2

Nnesha (nnesha):

nope slope is not 1 x is one (x , y) replace m by -3 which is slope they gave you

Nnesha (nnesha):

first you have to solve for b :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha how do i solve for b

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay first replace m by -3 and x y by order pair (x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain more @Nnesha
