Question

Write an equation of a line with the given slope and y-intercept m=-5,b=-7

Answer 1

y=-5x-7

Explanation:

Answer 2

`y = -5x -7`

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Slope:

`m = -5`

Y-intercept:

`b = -7`

Slope intercept form of line:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept.

Putting in all the values, we have,

`y = mx + b\\y = -5(x) -7\\y = -5x -7\\y + 5x + 7 = 0`,

is the required equation of line.
