Chapter B, Problem 15E

To determine

To find: The equation of the line for the given conditions.

Answer to Problem 15E

The equation of the line is $y=3x-2$.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The required line is passing through the slope $3$ and $y\text{ intercept}-2$.

Property used:

The equation of the line with slope $m$ and $y\text{ intercept }b\text{ is}$, $y=mx+b$.

Calculation:

Substitute the values in the property mentioned above.

$\begin{array}{l}m=3,b\text{=}-2\\ \text{Therefore,}\\ y=3x-2\end{array}$

Thus, the equation of the line is $y=3x-2$.
