Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

Write the equation of a line, given the slope of the line and the y-intercept. (1, -6) m= -2 (use point slope form)

Answer 1

Answer: The equation is y= -2x -4

Explanation:

The slope intercept form is like y=mx+b so we know the slope which is m but we just need to find the y intercept.

and we will use the given coordinates to find the y intercept by putting in the x and y coordinates into the formula y=mx + b

-6= -2(1) + b

-6= -2 + b

+2 +2

b= -4
