Question 452065: Write each equation in slop-intercept form. Then identify the slope and the y-intercept for each line.
2x - y = 12
Find an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. Express your answer in slope-intercept form.
(8,0),m= -3
Answer by AHBK(13)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! *2x-y=12
to write it in slope-intercept form you have to write it in a way that gives x interms of y meaning(y=...)
so
2x-y=12,
-y=12-2x
y=2x-12 (slope intercept form)
*for second question
we know that equation of any line is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept
and m is given m= -3
so equation of the line is y=-3x+b
and the line passes through point (8,0)
so those coordinates satisfy the equation
then y=-3x+b gives
0=-3(8)+b
so,
0=-24+b
then b=24
so equation of the line is : y=-3x+24
