Question

How do you write an equation in slope intercept form given m=-2/3, b=5?

Answer 1

See entire explanation below:

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

`y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)`

Where `color(red)(m)` is the slope and `color(blue)(b` is the y-intercept value.

Substituting the slope and y-intercept given in the problem provides the result:

`y = color(red)(-2/3)x + color(blue)(5)`
