Slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0 or (0,y))
You know m = 2, so you can plug it into the equation
y = 2x + b
To find "b", plug in the point (3, -2) into the equation
y = 2x + b
-2 = 2(3) + b
-2 = 6 + b
-8 = b
y = 2x - 8
The slope-intercept form:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
m - slope
b - y-intercept
We have the slope m = 2 and the point (3, -2) → x = 3 and y = -2.
Substitute:
[tex]-2=(2)(3)+b[/tex]
[tex]-2=6+b[/tex] subtract 6 from both sides
[tex]-8=b\to b=-8[/tex]
Substitute to the equation y = mx + b:
