Question

Write an equation of the line that contains the given point and has the given slope. (0, 5), slope is –0.3

Answer 1

y = - 0.3x + 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 = - 0.3 and line crosses y-axis at (0, 5) ⇒ c = 5

y = -0.3x + 5 ← is the equation of the line
