If a line crosses the y-axis at (0, -3) and has a slope of 3, what is the equation of the line?
slope intercept form is y = mx + b
m being your slope and b being your y-intercept
so your slope is 3 as it says and it also says that line crosses through (0, -3) which is your y-intercept so the equation is y = 3x -3 :)
what dont you understand michael?
-3=3+0
@micheal05 what dont you understand?
how to do it
how to make the equation?
yahhh
y = mx + b
can you tell me what the m and b stand for
ok ik that but like idk how to put the numbers into that
ok so the m in the equation is your slope so if you have like a slope of 6 then your equation would look like y = 6x
and your b is your y intercept so if you had a y-intercept of 5 then your entire equation would look like y = 6x + 5
Does that help?
yes thank you
