The line can be written in the form y=mx+b. Plugging -2 in for m , 1 in for x, and -3 in for y, we get -3=-2*1+b=-2+b. Adding 2 to both sides, we get b=-1 and our equation turns into y=-2x-1 since y and x stay variables. Plugging it into a graphing calculator, we get in (0,b) that b = -1

Finding the equation of the line, it is found that the value of b is -1.

----------------------------

The equation of a line is given by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which:

  • m is the slope.
  • b is the y-intercept.

----------------------------

  • Slope of -2 means that [tex]m = -2[/tex], and thus, [tex]y = -2x + b[/tex].
  • It goes through point (1,-3), which means that when [tex]x = 1, y = -3[/tex]. We use this to find b.

[tex]y = -2x + b[/tex]

[tex]-3 = -2(1) + b[/tex]

[tex]b = -3 + 2 = -1[/tex]

The value of b is -1.
