Question

Which equation has a slope of -2/3 and a y-intercept of 5?

Answer 1

`y = -2/3x + 5`

Explanation:

Use the slope-intercept formula to write this equation.

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 results in:

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