Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope -2 and y-intercept 5. then graph the line.

equation: y = ?

Answer 1

y = -2x + 5.

Explanation:

The general form is y = mx + b where m = the slope and b = the y-intercept.

So here m = -2 and b = 5 so our equation is:

y = -2x + 5.
