Chapter 8.5, Problem 2OE

To determine

To find: Theequation in slope intercept form of the given line.

Answer to Problem 2OE

The equation in slope intercept form of the given lineis $y=\frac{2}{3}x-7$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The slope is $\frac{2}{3}$ and y-intercept is $-7$ .

Calculation:

The slope intercept form is,

  $y=mx+c$

Here, the slope is $m$ and $y$ intercept is $c$ .

Substitute the values in above equation.

  $\begin{array}{l}y=\frac{2}{3}x+\left(-7\right)\\ y=\frac{2}{3}x-7\end{array}$
