Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with y-intercept -1 and slope 2/5

y = 2/5x - 1

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Slope m = 2/5

y-intercept b = -1

Step 2: Write linear equation

Substitute into the general format.

y = 2/5x - 1

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
