Question 995896: What is the standard form of the equation of the line given the slope and y intercept m=1;b=-2
Answer by Edwin McCravy(20054)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = mx + b

m=1; b=-2

Substitute (1) for m and (-2) for b:

y = (1)x + (-2)

Simplify

y = x - 2      <-- that's the answer!
