What is the linear equation to this graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where do I go from y=-2/3x+6

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

@dan815

OpenStudy (freckles):

where did you get your slope from ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2,3)(0,6) 0-2/6-3

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Slope = \(\sf\Large\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

OpenStudy (freckles):

oh you have your numbers upside down

OpenStudy (freckles):

put y over x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/-2

OpenStudy (freckles):

like smart one has

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Correct!

OpenStudy (dan815):

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So now we have \(\sf\Large y=-\frac{3}{2}x+b\)

OpenStudy (freckles):

he had his y-intercept correct :)

OpenStudy (dan815):

yep just fix the slope and u good

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Now we have to plug in a point in to that equation and solve for b. :) Or you can see what the y-value is when x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its asking for standard form

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Standard Form = \(\sf Ax+By=C\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3x-2y=-12 is how the answers are written

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yupp
