Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line 3x-y=-2

1 answer

To find the slope and y-intercept of the line 3x - y = -2, we need to rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b.

First, let's isolate y in the equation 3x - y = -2 by moving the term 3x to the other side:

-y = -3x - 2

Now, divide by -1 to make the coefficient of y positive:

y = 3x + 2

Now we have the equation in slope-intercept form: y = 3x + 2.

From this equation, we can see that the slope of the line is 3 and the y-intercept is 2.

So, the slope of the line is 3 and the y-intercept is 2.
