Tutorial
A line with a slope of 1 passes through the point (-2, -3). What is its equation in
slope-intercept form?
Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 1 , then

y = x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, - 3 ) into the partial equation

- 3 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = - 3 + 2 = - 1

y = x - 1 ← equation of line
