SOMEBOLY!!! give me a clue how to solve this ...i still mess up with THIS!!!

alones (alones):

The slope of a line is -2 and the y-intercept is 7. What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

OpenStudy (baru):

what do you think you have to do?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intecept

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

m=-2 b=7

alones (alones):

I THINK I SUppose to find -2 on aline and do it in a linear equation which i mess up with!!

OpenStudy (baru):

do you know what y intercept means

alones (alones):

something on a graph

OpenStudy (baru):

do you know what a graph is? do you know what the y axis and x axis are?

alones (alones):

?? of coarse i do but i can't solve it wothout using a graph

alones (alones):

y = -2x + 7 what i got

OpenStudy (baru):

y intercept is the point where the line cuts the y axis

OpenStudy (baru):

that is the correct answer
