A line passes through the point (-2, 3) and has a slope of -2. What is the equation of the line?

@RhondaSommer

OpenStudy (gniiij):

ok so what you want is a y=mx+b equation

OpenStudy (dako87):

yes

OpenStudy (gniiij):

where m= -2(your slope)

OpenStudy (dako87):

yes

OpenStudy (gniiij):

now, to find the y-intercept(b in the equation), you need to graph those points and find out where x is 0

OpenStudy (gniiij):

so graph (-2,3)

OpenStudy (dako87):

i figured it to be this y=-2/3x-2

OpenStudy (dako87):

thats just usinng the point as the slope tho

OpenStudy (gniiij):

yes you don't want to do that

OpenStudy (gniiij):

do you have a graph nearby?

OpenStudy (dako87):

tbh ive done nothing but math for 8hrs straight i basically just want to guess my way through

OpenStudy (dako87):

and sorry no i dont
