Question

Identify the equation of a line with a slope of -4 and a y-
intercept of (0, 2).

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that the formula for slope is y=mx+b, with m equaling the slope itself and b equaling the y-intercept. Since the slope is -4, we can safely say that the equation starts off as y=-4x.

The y-intercept is (0,2). This means that the x-coordinate is 0 and the y-coordinate is 2, so the y-intercept is 2. Since 2 is being added, the equation is y=-4x+2

Answer:

y=-4x+2
