Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with y-intercept −5 and slope −2/5

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{2}{5}x-5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have

$m=-\dfrac{2}{5},\ b=-5$

Substitute:

$y=-\dfrac{2}{5}x+(-5)}=-\dfrac{2}{5}x-5$
