Question

Select the slope-intercept form of an equation for a line with y-intercept –5 and slope 2. A. x = 2x + 5 B. y = 2x – 5 C. y = 5x – 2 D. y = –5x + 2

Answer 1

Answer: y = 2x - 5

slope-intercept form ⇒ y = mx + b

⇒ where mx is the slope,

⇒ b is the y-intercept

⇒According to the question;

mx which is the slope = 2

b the y-intercept = -5

∴ the equation is

Answer 2

y=2x-5

Explanation:

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept
