Question

A graph of a linear function has a slope of -1/3 and contains the point (0, 2). Which of these represents the equation of this function?

Answer 1

slope intercept equation is represented below

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where} \\ m=\text{slope} \\ b=y-\text{intercept} \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} 2=-(1)/(3)(0)+b \\ b=2 \\ y=-(1)/(3)x+2 \end{gathered}`
