Question

What is the equation in standard form of the line that passes through the point (1, 24) and has a slope of -0.6.

Answer 1

y= -0.6x + 123/5

Explanation:

Start with the slope.
Given the slope is -0.6, the equation must be in the form of y=-0.6x+b, where b is the y-intercept.
Now, substitute your values of a and b inside the equation. 24=-0.6+b. given this, b=24.6, which is 123/5.
