Slope= -2 and (5,3) is on the line. Write in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Slope intercept form is y=mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept point

You need m and b to complete the slope intercept form. Therefore, you need to find b.

Given a slope and a point of the line, you may plug in everything in to find the y-intercept. For instance...

3 = -2(5) + b

3 = -10 + b

13 = b

You now know your b. Plug in what you know for m and b.

Your answer is:

y= -2x+13
