Question 366009
THe slpoe is -2 and it passes through (6,-10) 
How would you find the y intercept.
What is the equation of the line

Given the standard equation 
  y = mx + b
 
  where b = the y intercept
        m = -2
        x = 6
        y = -10


  -10 = -2(6) + b
    b = -10 + 12
    b = 2

The y intercept is 2
