Question

The slope of a line is -1/5 and the y intercept is 5. What is the equation of the line written in slope-intersept form?

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = -
`(1)/(5)` and c = 5 , then

y = -
`(1)/(5)` x + 5 ← equation of line

Answer 2

y = -1/5 + 5 is the equation
