Question

Choose the equation for the line in slope-intercept form.

A graph of a diagonal line on a coordinate plane going up and to the right. The line passes through the points zero comma negative 3 and 2 comma negative 2.
y=2x+3

y=12x+3

y=12x−3

y=−12x−3

Answer 1

Slope m = (−2 − (−3)) / (2 − 0) = 1/2 and y-intercept is −3, so the equation is y = (1/2)x − 3.

(Among the given choices that’s the one matching y = 1/2 x − 3 — listed there as y = 12x−3.)
