Transforming y in slope-intercept form?

Question

Hello,

I need help in transforming the equation of the linear function y in slope-intercept form and in standard form satisfying the given conditions. The given is:

" Through (-1,3), m= -3 "

I want to know how to transform the given in:

a) Slope-Intercept form

b) Standard Form

Please help me on this, I'm having a hard time understanding this. Thank You Very Much!

Sincerely Yours,

Scott J.

Answer 1

y=mx+b

3=3+b

b=0

y=-3x

Answer 2

hi,

the slope intercept form of a equation is

y = mx + c

here you have given the points (-1,3) and m = -3

therefore putting these points in the above equation and sloving for c

=> 3 = -3*-1 + c

=> 3 = 3 + c

=> c = 0

so the slope intercept form becomes

y = -3x + 0

or simply

y = -3x

this is the both i.e., the slope intercept form and the standard form. hope this helps. bye.
