Question

write the equation of the line in slope - intercept form, $y = mx + b$. first, find the slope of the line. $m = 3$ next, find the $y$-intercept of the line. $b = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of y - intercept

The y - intercept \(b\) is the value of \(y\) when \(x = 0\).

Step2: Identify the point on the line where \(x = 0\)

Looking at the graph, when \(x=0\), \(y=-2\). So \(b=-2\).

Answer:

\(b = - 2\)
