Question

What is the equation of the line with a slope of -4/3 and a y-intercept of -2?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line is;

$y=-\frac{4}{3}x-2$

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of line equation can be written in the form;

$y=mx+b$

where;

m = slope

b = y-intercept.

for the given question;

$\begin{gathered} \text{slope m =}-\frac{4}{3} \\ y-\text{intercept b = -2} \end{gathered}$

substituting the values into the equation above, we have;

$y=-\frac{4}{3}x-2$

Therefore, the equation of the line is;

$y=-\frac{4}{3}x-2$
