Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in increments of 1. A solid upward line with arrows on both ends is plotted on the graph. The line passes through the plotted points left parenthesis 0 comma negative 2 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 3 comma 0 right parenthesis.

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

x-

Answer 1

First find the slope: m = (0 - (-2)) / (3 - 0) = 2/3. The y-intercept is -2.

So the equation is y = (2/3)x - 2.
