Question

How do you write an equation of a line with slope 2/3 and y-intercept -5?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process 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 values from the problem gives:

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

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