Question 161704: CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM:
Write an equation in slope-intercept form of a line satisfying the given conditions.
m = -3/2; b = 8
a. y = (3/2)x + 8
b. y = -(3/2)x + 8
c. y = -(3/2)x - 8
d. y = (3/2)x - 8

.
The answer: b
.
"Slope-intercept" of a line is
y = mx + b
where
m is slope
b is y-intercept
.
m = -3/2; b = 8
plugging in the given values yield:
y = (-3/2)x + 8
or
y = -(3/2)x + 8
