Algebra.Com's Answer #107360 by nerdybill(7384)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Remember the \"slope-intercept\" form of a line: \n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b \n" ); document.write( "where \n" ); document.write( "m = slope \n" ); document.write( "b = y-intercept (0,b) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Simply \"plug in\" the given values into this form. \n" ); document.write( "The problem gave you the fact that: \n" ); document.write( "slope = m = 6 \n" ); document.write( "y intercept = b = -3 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, from: \n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b \n" ); document.write( "we now have: \n" ); document.write( "y = 6x + (-3) \n" ); document.write( "or \n" ); document.write( "y = 6x - 3\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
