Question 382098
the general slope-intercept form is ___ y = mx + b , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept


in this case , the slope is -2 and the y-intercept is -3


graph by starting at a known point (the intercept) , -3 on the y-axis {coordinates (0,-3)}


generate the line using the slope of -2
___ this means that for every unit that x increases , y decreases 2 units (x and y change in opposite directions)


x = 1 , then y = -5
x = -1 , then y = -1
x = 3 , then y = -9
x = -4 , then y = 5
