Which equation has a slope of -2/3 and a y-intercept of 5?

Answer 1

Nathan Axel

#y = -2/3x + 5#

Use the slope-intercept formula to write this equation.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

#y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)#

Where #color(red)(m)# is the slope and #color(blue)(b# is the y-intercept value.

Substituting the slope and y-intercept given in the problem results in:

#y = color(red)(-2/3)x + color(blue)(5)#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
