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

1 Answer

Jan 8, 2017

$y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 5$ $y = -2/3x + 5$

Explanation:

Use the slope-intercept formula to write this equation.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

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

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

Substituting the slope and y-intercept given in the problem results in:

$y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 5$ $y = color(red)(-2/3)x + color(blue)(5)$
