Question

A line that includes the point 0, -4) has a slope of 1/5. What is it’s equation in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = (1/5)x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since we are given both the slope and the y-intercept in the problem, all we have to do is plug the values into the equation.

y = mx + b

(slope) m = 1/5

(y-intercept) b = -4

So, y = (1/5)x - 4
