Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given points(0,-2)(3,1).

Answer 1

y=x-2 in slope intercept form

or

x-y=2 in standard form

slope =1, y intercept =-2 = the point (0,-2)

slope = "rise over run" = change in y over change in x = the coefficient of the x term when the linear equation is solved for y = (1- -2)/(3-0) = 3/3= 1
