Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of a line that passes through the point (-1,5) and has a slope of -7 will be:

• y = -7x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

• m is the slope

• b is the y-intercept

Given

• The point (-1, 5)

• Slope m = -7

substituting m = -7 and the point (-1, 5) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

5 = -7(-1) + b

5 = 7+b

b = 5-7

b = -2

Thus, the y-intercept is: b = -2

now substituting b = -2 and m = -7 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y = -7x+(-2)

y = -7x-2

Therefore, the equation of a line that passes through the point (-1,5) and has a slope of -7 will be:

• y = -7x-2
