Question

Write an eqaution of the line in slope-intercpet form with a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of 2.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -5x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is written as y = mx + b.

m is the variable representing slope, how steep the line is.

b is the variable representing the y-intercept, when the graph hits the y-axis.

x and y, when substituted, tells you the points on the graph.

When writing the equation of a line, you need the slope and the y-intercept.

In y = mx + b, substitute m for -5 and b for 2.

y = -5x + 2
