Question

Write an equation of the line with the given slope, m, and y-intercept (0,b)

M= -3,b= - 1/2

Answer 1

------------------------------------------------------------------
General Formula
------------------------------------------------------------------
y = mx + b

------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute the value of m and b
------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -3x - 1/2

Alternatively, if we rearrange the terms, it can be:
y + 3x + 1/2 = 0 OR  2y + 6x + 1 = 0

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer : y = -3x - 1/2
