Question

Write the equation of the line, with the given properties, in slope intercept form slope = -2, through(-4,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

So in slope intercept y will always equal something so you start with

y= mx + b

m = slope and b = y-intercept

so in this case it would first be

y = -2x + b

and then since we have the point it passes through (-4,7) we know that the line passes through the y axis at 7 hence the y value is 7.

so you finally get

y=-2x+7
