Question

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line with a slope of -1/3 and y-intercept of (0, 9)? Choices in picture below

Answer 1

Explanation:

The formula is y=mx+b, with m representing the slope, x representing the x coordinate, and b representing the y-intercept. Since -⅓ is the slope, that means that the equation starts off as y=-⅓. We know that the y-intercept is where the line meets the y-axis, so the y-intercept is 9. Since 9 (the y-intercept) is being added, that means the equation is y=-⅓+9.

Answer:

y=-⅓+9
