Question 147030: Write the equation of a line whose slope is 6 and whose y intercept is -3.
Answer by nerdybill(7384)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Remember the "slope-intercept" form of a line:
y = mx + b
where
m = slope
b = y-intercept (0,b)
.
Simply "plug in" the given values into this form.
The problem gave you the fact that:
slope = m = 6
y intercept = b = -3
.
Therefore, from:
y = mx + b
we now have:
y = 6x + (-3)
or
y = 6x - 3
