Question 316578: write a rule for the linear function whose graph has a slope m= -1/3 and a y-intercept b=-2 Found 3 solutions by moshiz08, CharlesG2, solver91311:Answer by moshiz08(60) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. Plug in the values you are given for m and b.
Then you will have a rule that tells you, for any given value of x, how to find the y-value that corresponds to it.
For instance, if x=0, then y=-2. If x=3, then y=-3.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! write a rule for the linear function whose graph has a slope m= -1/3 and a y-intercept b=-2
if you want this in slope-intercept form of y=mx+b, then:
y = (-1/3)x - 2
OR
f(x) = (-1/3)x - 2
