Question

How do I change (1,4) and slope=-2 into a slope intercept form

Answer 1

slope intercept form

y = mx + b

Answer 2

Yup^

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Answer 5

you already have the slope -2
put that instead of m

Answer 6

Ok then what

Answer 7

@Mehek14 You go!

Answer 8

y = -2x + b
now plug in the ordered pari
x = 1
y = 4

4 = -2*1 + b

solve for b

Answer 9

So 2

Answer 10

4 = -2*1 + b

4 = -2 + b
6 = b

it's 6 not 2

Answer 11

Oh I messed up

Answer 12

it's fine

so b = 6

y = -2x + 6

Answer 13

So what about (-4,6) and slope=-2/3

Answer 14

well we got slope -2/3

y = -2/3x + b

6 = -2/3 * 4 + b

solve for b

Answer 15

So what about (-4,6) and slope=-2/3

Answer 17

So it's 5

Answer 18

no
b = 8.666

Answer 19

Wait no

Answer 20

So its not a whole number

Answer 21

nope

Answer 22

So I have (-5,-11) , (-2,-1 )

Answer 23

what about those ordered pairs?

Answer 24

How do i make then into a slope intercept

Answer 25

first find the slope

\(\dfrac{-11 - (-1)}{-5-(-2)}\)

Answer 26

Ok

Answer 27

-12/-7

Answer 28

No its -10/-3

Answer 29

ye -10/-3

Answer 30

-10/-3 = 10/3

so you have

y = 10/3x + b

Answer 31

What's the b

Answer 32

y-intercept

Answer 33

What's that

Answer 34

the place where the line goes through the y-axis

Answer 35

I have y=-10/-3+ blank

Answer 36

For my answer

Answer 37

so we plug in one of the ordered pairs into the equation

Answer 38

So I can put 1 there

Answer 39

use (-2,-1)

-2 = 10/3*-1 + b

solve for b

Answer 40

Is it a decimal

Answer 41

ye

Answer 42

Is it -5.3

Answer 43

You can do point slope form. So you do:
y-4=-2(x-1)
y-4=-2x + 2
y = -2x + 6
