What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form? y=−13x+2 y=3x−2 y = 3x + 2 y=−3x+2

y = -3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, you see the line intersects the y-axis at y = 2, so the y-intercept is b = 2.

Now we need the slope. We need to find the number of vertical and horizontal units to go from one point to the other. Starting at point (-1, 5), go down 6 units and then go right 2 units. The change in y is -6. The change in x is 2. slope = m = (change in y)/(change in x) = -6/2 = -3.

m = -3; b = 2

y = mx + b

y = -3x + 2
