Math Problem Statement

find the slope and y-intercept y=-3X+2

Solution

The equation of the line is given in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+by = mx + b

where:

  • mm is the slope,
  • bb is the y-intercept.

For the equation y=3x+2y = -3x + 2:

  1. Slope (mm): 3-3
  2. Y-intercept (bb): 22

Thus:

  • The slope of the line is 3-3.
  • The y-intercept is at (0,2)(0, 2).

Would you like me to plot this line or provide further details?


Here are 5 related questions for practice:

  1. What does a slope of 3-3 mean in terms of the steepness and direction of the line?
  2. How would the line change if the slope were 33 instead of 3-3?
  3. What is the x-intercept of this line?
  4. How would the graph look if the y-intercept were 00 instead of 22?
  5. Write an equation of a line parallel to y=3x+2y = -3x + 2.

Tip: Always look for key values (mm and bb) in slope-intercept form for quick analysis.
