Question

The slope of a line is -1/5, and the y-intercept is 5. What is the equation of the line written in general form?

Answer 1

Answer:

x + 5y - 25 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:

$y = mx + b \\ \\ plug \: m = - \frac{1}{5} \: \: and \: \: b = 5 \\ \\ y = - \frac{1}{5} x + 5 \\ \\ 5y = - x + 25 \\ \\ x + 5y - 25 = 0$

Answer 2

Answer:

x + 5y - 25 = 0
