1 of 2: Find the equation of the line for the $y$-intercept and slope given above.
Solution
Solution Steps
To find the equation of the line given a point \((0, -3)\) and a slope \(m = \frac{3}{5}\), we can use the slope-intercept form of a line, which is \(y = mx + b\). Here, \(b\) is the y-intercept, which is given as \(-3\). We can directly substitute the slope \(m\) and the y-intercept \(b\) into the equation.
Step 1: Identify the Given Values
We are given the slope \( m = 0.6 \) and the y-intercept \( b = -3 \).
Step 2: Use the Slope-Intercept Form
The slope-intercept form of a line is given by:
\[
y = mx + b
\]
Substituting the given values \( m = 0.6 \) and \( b = -3 \) into the equation, we get:
\[
y = 0.6x - 3
\]
