Question 377053: Write an equation in a) slope - intercept form and b) Standard Form:
slope=-2; y-int=-3

Substitute what you know to "fill in the blanks."
The slope = -2, so that is the coefficient of 'x'.
The y-intercept is the point where x=0.
.
Slope-intercept form: y = mx+b
y = -2x -3
.
Standard form: Ax + By = C.
Add 2x to both sides to get 'x' and 'y' to the same side, leaving the constant behind.
2x + y = -3
.
A graph is useful, too.

Done.
