Question

Write the equation in y-intercept form slope 2 passes through point (5,-2)

Answer 1

The equation is y = 2x - 12

Step-by-step explanation

Equation in slope intercept form is

`y = mx + b`

Where,

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Putting the value of slope in this equation:

`y = 2x + b`

From this we can solve the equation for b

`b = y - 2x`

`b = -2 - 2(5)`

`b = -12`

Now, the equation of y-intercept becomes

`y = 2x - 12`
