If a line with a slope of - 2 crosses the y-axis at (0, 3), what is the equation of the line in slope intercept form

y=-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and y and x are their respective coordinates.

The questions gives us a coordinate pair and a slope so all we need to find is the y-intercept to find the equation.

Begin by plugging in what we know.

(3) = (-2) (0) + b

3 = 0 + b

3 = b

Plug in the y-intercept (b) and slope (m)

y=-2x+3
