Math Problem Statement

Write an equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept

slope: 2/7, y-intercept: -3

Solution

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+by = mx + b

Where:

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

Given:

  • Slope m=27m = \frac{2}{7}
  • Y-intercept b=3b = -3

Substituting these values into the formula, the equation of the line is:

y=27x3y = \frac{2}{7}x - 3

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How do you find the slope of a line between two points?
  2. What is the difference between slope-intercept form and point-slope form?
  3. How can you determine the x-intercept of a line given its equation?
  4. How do you convert the slope-intercept form of a line to standard form?
  5. What happens to the slope of a line if it's perpendicular to another line?

Tip: The slope represents the rate of change of yy with respect to xx. If the slope is positive, the line rises as you move from left to right.
