Question

What is the equation of a line (in slope-intercept form) with a slope of -1 and a y

intercept of 0.7?

Answer 1

Remember that the slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

What we know:

slope: -1

y-intercept: 0.7

Therefore:

m = -1

b = 0.7

Plug the values of m and b in y = mx + b:

y = -1x + 0.7

OR

y = -x + 0.7

OR

y = 0.7 - x

^^^These are all written in slope intercept form but just in different ways

Hope this helped!
