A line passes through the point (2, 3) and has a slope of -2. Which is the equation of the line in point-slope form? A) 2x + y = 7 B) y = -2x + 7 C) y - 3 = -2(x - 2) D) y = - 1 - 2 x + 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i belive it,s b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand why

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

no i dont know where to start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, do you know what X represents?

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

the x cordinate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X represent the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your thoughts

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

whats b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b in this context is B)

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

no like mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is (B) not (A) (C) or (D),,,,, ITS (B)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand?

OpenStudy (heart_offire):

IM AWARE OF THAT, im asking what does b represent in y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b is the y axis intercept, the point on the y axis where the line crosses the y axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = m x + b when x is zero, y = b
