Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b, using the given information. m=3(-1,2)

OpenStudy (priyar):

do u mean m=3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it says m=3 (-1,2)

OpenStudy (priyar):

is there space inbetween?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (priyar):

anyway i think we are supposed to understand that m= 3 and (-1,2) is a point on the line..its obvious why..right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (retireed):

That's what I think.

OpenStudy (priyar):

So in y=mx+c put m=3 what do u get..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=3x+b

OpenStudy (priyar):

oh here its b sry..and u are right..now they have given the value of x and y as co-ordinates..put them in the eq..what do u get?

OpenStudy (retireed):

m=3 (-1,2) 2 = 3(-1) + b Solve for b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=5?

OpenStudy (priyar):

yeah! good job!

OpenStudy (priyar):

now what is the full eq?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure..y=3x+5?

OpenStudy (priyar):

Yep! u got it!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome! Thank you both for helping me!
