How do you write an equation of a line given Slope: -2 y intercept:(0,4)?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

#y=-2x+4#

you can use the formula:

#y-y_0=m(x-x_0)#

where m is the slope and#(x_0,y_0)# is the intercept

By substituting your data, you have:

#y-4=-2(x-0)#

#y=-2x+4#

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Given the slope of -2 and the y-intercept of (0,4), the equation of the line is y = -2x + 4.
