Convert the equation to slope intercept form: y = -2x. A. y = 2x B. y = 2x + 1 C. y = -2x + 0 D. y = -2x + 1

Question

Im having a difficult time w/ my math. thanks for helping! 

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

 

Convert the equation to slope intercept form: y = -2x

A. y = 2x

B. y = 2x + 1

C. y = -2x + 0

D. y = -2x + 1

 

- First, lets analyze the equation we are given: y = -2x.

- We observe the following: m = -2 & b = 0.

- Now that we know our slope(m) and y-intercept(b), we can go through each of the options and see which one of them    matches.

- We can also write out equation into the full slope-intercept form equation and see which one it is as well.

- Since m = -2 & b = 0, the slope-intercept equation is y = -2x + 0. 

- The answer is C.
