CPM Homework Help : CCG Problem 6-95

Write the equation of each line described below in slope-intercept form $(y=mx+b)$ .

$m=\frac{6}{5}$ and $b=-3$

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$ and $b=4.5$

$m=\frac{1}{3}$ and the line passes through the origin $(0,0)$

$m=0$ and $b=2$

Hint:

$M$ is the slope and b is the $y$ -intercept. For parts (a), (b), and (d), substitute the given values for $m$ and $b$ . For part (c), substitute $(0,0)$ for $x$ and $y$ to find the $y$ -intercept.

Answer (d):

$y=2$
