noseboy908 · Answer

To start off, what is slope-intercept form? How do we write it?

faiithhh · Answer

i honestly don't really remember

faiithhh · Answer

is it y=mx+b?

noseboy908 · Answer

Exactly! What are the variables there and what do they stand for?

faiithhh · Answer

m is the slope, x is what youre multiplying  by(i think??), and b would be the y-intercept

noseboy908 · Answer

You're very close, but try to think of m and b as being the only variables. y and x are just necessary parts of the equation that show us what equation we're using. Knowing that m and b are slope and y intercept, respectively, what are you given as your slope and y intercept to use?

WAIT OKAY
would the equation be 
y = -3x +4 ?
