(0,-19)(0,−19) , m=67m=67
Step 1
Step 1.1
Use the formula for the equation of a line to find bb.
y=mx+by=mx+b
Step 1.2
Substitute the value of mm into the equation.
y=(67)x+by=(67)x+b
Step 1.3
Substitute the value of xx into the equation.
y=(67)⋅(0)+by=(67)⋅(0)+b
Step 1.4
Substitute the value of yy into the equation.
-19=(67)⋅(0)+b−19=(67)⋅(0)+b
Step 1.5
Find the value of bb.
Step 1.5.1
Rewrite the equation as 67⋅0+b=-1967⋅0+b=−19.
67⋅0+b=-1967⋅0+b=−19
Step 1.5.2
Simplify 67⋅0+b67⋅0+b.
Step 1.5.2.1
Multiply 6767 by 00.
0+b=-190+b=−19
Step 1.5.2.2
Add 00 and bb.
b=-19b=−19
b=-19b=−19
b=-19b=−19
b=-19b=−19
Step 2
Now that the values of mm (slope) and bb (y-intercept) are known, substitute them into y=mx+by=mx+b to find the equation of the line.
y=67x-19y=67x−19
