Question

Select the slope intercept form of an equation with slope of 2/3 that passes through the point (1, -4)

Answer 1

y = (2/3)x - 20

Explanation:

Here m = 2/3, x = 1 and y = -4. Substituting these values into y = mx + b enables us to determine the value of the y-intercept, B.

-4 = (2/3)(1) + B, or

-12 = 8 + 3B, or B = -20.

Then the desired equation is y = (2/3)x - 20.
