Question

Find the equation of the line with a slope of -2 and y-intercept -5

Answer 1

y=-2x+(-5)

Explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y intercept

Answer 2

y = - 2x - 5

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2 and c = - 5, thus

y = - 2x - 5 ← equation of line
