Question

How do you find the linear function, f(x)=mx+b, whose graph has the given slope -9/5 and y intercept is (0,-3)?

Answer 1

`f(x)=-9/5x-3`

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(2/2)|)))`

`"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"`

`"here "m=-9/5" and "b=-3larr(0,-3)`

`rArrf(x)=-9/5x-3larrcolor(red)"in slope-intercept form"`
