Math Problem Statement

Slope intercept equation for a slope of -7/3 and y intercept (0,-7)

Solution

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by:

y=mx+by = mx + b

Where:

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

Given:

  • Slope m=73m = -\frac{7}{3}
  • Y-intercept b=7b = -7

Substituting these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y=73x7y = -\frac{7}{3}x - 7

So, the slope-intercept equation of the line is:

y=73x7y = -\frac{7}{3}x - 7
