Question

NEED HELP FAST!! A line has a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of 5. Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form and explain how you would use the slope and y-intercept to graph the equation.

Answer 1

y = -3x + 5

Explanation:

To graph a linear equation in slope-intercept form, we can use the information given by that form. For example, y=-3x + 5 tells us that the slope of the line is -3 and the y-intercept is at (0,5). This gives us one point the line goes through, and the direction we should continue from that point to draw the entire line.
