Question

writing an equation of a line given its slope and y-intercept. write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope -5 and y-intercept 1.

Answer 1

y = -5(x-1)

Explanation:

A y-intercept of 1 means that the point (0,1) falls on the line.

Slope-intercept form is
`y-y_(1) =m(x-x_(1) )` where m is the slope...

Therefore, the slope-intercept equation is y-1=-5(x-0) or y-1=-5x
