Question

Acellus

Give the equation for this line in
slope-intercept form.
slope = -2, y-intercept = 5
y ]
= [?]x + []

Answer 1

y = - 2x + 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 = - 2 and c = 5 , thus

y = - 2x + 5 ← equation of line

Answer 2

y = -2x + 5

Explanation:

The equation of a line is y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. Since we already know the values, we can just put it into the equation.

y = mx + c

y = -2x + 5
