Question

Write an equation of a line (in slope-intercept form) which has a slope of –5 and a y-intercept of 2.

Answer 1

i believe the answer is f(x)=-5+2

Answer 2

y = -5x + 2

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is:

`y=mx+b`

m - slope

b - y-intercpt

We are given the slope of '-5' and the y-intercept of '2'.

This means that -5 will replace m and 2 would replace b.

`y=mx+b\rightarrow\boxed{y=-5x+2}`

Hope this helps.
