Question

Which equation represents the slope-intercept form of the line below? y- intercept (0,-5) slope- 1/4

Answer 1

The equation of the line is
`y = (-1)/(4)x -5`

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The slope intercept form is y = mx + c

where m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept.

Now consider the provided information, it is given that the slope of the line is -1/4 and y intercept is (0,-5).

So substitute m = -1/4 and c = -5 in the slope intercept form.

`y = (-1)/(4)x + (-5)`

`y = (-1)/(4)x -5`

Hence, the equation of the line is
`y = (-1)/(4)x -5`

Answer 2

slope intercept form

y =mx+b

y =-1/4 x -5
