Math Problem Statement

slope=-2/5, Y intercept=3

Solution

Given the slope 25\frac{-2}{5} and the Y-intercept 33, you can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, which is:

y=mx+by = mx + b

Where:

  • mm is the slope
  • bb is the Y-intercept

Substituting the given values:

y=25x+3y = \frac{-2}{5}x + 3

This is the equation of the line with slope 25\frac{-2}{5} and Y-intercept 33.
