sloppycanada · Answer

The equation you're looking for is y=mx+b

If 'm' is considered the slope, and 2/3 = slope for the problem,m, then the value of m is?

g0thw1ng · Answer

-2/3 is the m then what do I do with the (0,5)

welshfella · Answer

point=slope form is  
y - 5 = -(2/3)(x - 0)

which you can transform into slope intercept form

welshfella · Answer

the general form of slope point  is

y - y1 = m(x - x1)  where (x1,y1) = a point on the line 

In this case x1 = 0 and y1 = 5
