Given:
Slope = -23
y-intercept = -4
Determine the equation of the line.
Solution:
The equation of the line can be determined by using the slope-intercept form, written in the form,
y = mx + b
m = slope of the line
b = y-intercept
Hence, we can determine the equation of the line by simply substituting the values of -23 and -4 to the equation of the line.
y = -23x + (-4)
y = -23x - 4
Final answer:
y = -23x - 4
