Please help me write an equation of the line:
1. The slope is 2; the y-intercept is 3.
2. The slope is -3; the y-intercept is -2.
Please send an example to write an equation of the line shown in a graph.
======================================================================
The equation for a line:
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept; where the line cross the y-axis
========================
So, you are given the slope and y-intercept, just replace m with slope given and b with y-intercept given
=====================================
1) y=2x+3
2) y=-3x-2
=================================
The equation for this graph would be
If you count the angle of the line, the slope, which is change in y over change in x. So you start at the y-intercept and count 1 up and 2 over; that is your slope. The line cross the y-axis at the 2, so that is b in the equation,
