Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Given the slope $- \frac { 2 } { 7 }$ and y-intercept $\frac { 43 } { 7 }$, the correct equation is $y = - \frac { 2 } { 7 } x + \frac { 43 } { 7 }$.
