Question

pls, help!

A line with a slope of 2 passes through the point (2, 9). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?
Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

where m is the slope
and b is the y-interept

If the slope is 2, then that means you can replace m with 2 and get

y = 2x + b

We still need to calculate what 'b' is to get your final answer.
To do that, you need to use the point (2, 9) that they gave you and plug it into the equation

(2, 9) is in the form of (x ,y)
so replace x with 2
and y with 9

and then solve for b

y = 2x + b

can you replace those numbers for 'x' and 'y' and solve for 'b'
