The slope is -1 and the y-intercept is -5. Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form.
1 answer:
<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
- Slope-intercept form
where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
We have both given slope and y-intercept. We can simply substitute the given slope and y-intercept in slope-intercept form.
- Substitution
Substitute m = -1 and b = - 5 in the equation.
We don't usually write 1x or -1x instead we write -x or x.

When substituting, you want to take the y value from one equation and plug it into the y variable in the other equation to find the x value. When you find the c value, you plug the number into one of the equations to get your y value.
