Question

What is the equation for a line with a slope of -1/3 and a y-intercept of -5?

Answer 1

y=-1/3x-5

Explanation:

y=mx+b is equation of line where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

From question statement, we observe that

m= -1/3 , b= -5

put above values in equation of line, we get

y= -1/3x-5.
