Write the equation with the given slope and the given y-intercept
1. slope -2/3, y-intercept (0,5)
2. slope 5/6, y intercept (0,1/3)
To write the equation of a line given the slope and y-intercept, you can use the slope-intercept form of the equation:
y = mx + b
Where:
- "y" represents the y-coordinate
- "m" represents the slope
- "x" represents the x-coordinate
- "b" represents the y-intercept
Let's use this formula to write the equations for the given examples:
1. Given slope = -2/3 and y-intercept = (0, 5)
The equation will be:
y = (-2/3)x + 5
2. Given slope = 5/6 and y-intercept = (0, 1/3)
The equation will be:
y = (5/6)x + 1/3
So, the equations for the given examples are:
1. y = (-2/3)x + 5
2. y = (5/6)x + 1/3
