Question 64748
Write the equation of the line with given slope and y-intercept. Then graph each line using
the slope and y-intercept.
Slope: -2; y-intercept: (0, 4)
The slope intercept form of a line is {{{highlight(y=mx+b)}}}, where m=slope, and (0,b)=y-intercept.
slope, m=-2 y-intercept (0,b)=(0,4)
{{{highlight(y=-2x+4)}}}
Plot the y-intercept on the y-axis at (0,4), form that point use the slope, m=rise/run=-2/1 to go down 2 (rise) and right 1 (run) and plot another point at (1,2)
Connect the two points and you should have a graph that looks like:
{{{graph(300,200,-10,10,-10,10,-2x+4)}}}
Happy Calculating!!!
