Question

Enter the equation in slope-intercept form. Then graph the line described by the equation.

Answer 1

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{y = -5x + 1}$

5x + y = 1

Arrange into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

Subtract both sides by -5x to isolate y:

5x - 5x + y = 1 - 5x

y = 1 - 5x

Rearrange:

y = -5x + 1

Graph the equation by finding corresponding x and y values:

                    X                               Y

                    0                                1

                    1                                -4

                    2                                -9

                    -1                                 6

                    -2                                11

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 1 -5x

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to get y by itself. So first you move 5x to the other side but since it’s positive you have to make it negative so it canceled out.
