Question

Write the equation with a slope of 2 over 3 and a y-intercept of -3.

  1. y = 3 over 2 x + 3
  2. y = 2 over 3 -3
  3. y = 2 over 3x -3
  4. y = 2 over 3x +3

hintHint:

linear function is of the form y = mx + b where 'm' and 'b' are real numbers.  A linear function represents a line, i.e., its graph is a line. Here,
  • 'm' is the slope of the line
  • 'b' is the y-intercept of the line
  • 'x' is the independent variable
  • 'y' (or f(x)) is the dependent variable

The correct answer is: y = 2 over 3x -3


    linear function is of the form y = mx + b where 'm' and 'b' are real numbers.  A linear function represents a line, i.e., its graph is a line. Here,
    • 'm' is the slope of the line
    • 'b' is the y-intercept of the line
    • 'x' is the independent variable
    • 'y' (or f(x)) is the dependent variable
    Thus, the equation with a slope of 2 over 3 and a y-intercept of -3. Substituting the value of m and b in y = mx + b, we get
    y space equals space 2 over 3 x space minus space 3
