First, let's find the slope of the line using the given points (0, -2) and (3,0):
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (0 - (-2)) / (3 - 0)
m = (2) / (3)
m = 2/3
Now, we can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Using the point (0, -2), we can substitute the values for x and y to solve for b:
-2 = (2/3)(0) + b
-2 = b
Therefore, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:
y = (2/3)x - 2
Graphing equations practice.
(0,-2),(3,0)
write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
