Question

Which Is the correct equation of the line that has a slope of 2/3 and a y- intercept of -2?A) y = y = 2/3x + 2B) y = 2/3x - 2C) y = - 2x + 2/3D) y = - 2x - 2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

B)

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-2$

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is generally given as;

$y=mx+b$

where m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept of the line

So given a slope(m) of 2/3 and a y-intercept(b) of -2, we can go ahead and write the equation of the line as;

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-2$
