Question

What is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form, of the line that passes through (0, 12) and has a slope of -5?

Answer 1

y=-5x-12/5

Explanation:

First you need to find y intercept

y=mx+b

plug in the points (0,12)

12=mx+0

now plug in -5

12=-5x+0

subtract 0 from both side

12=-5x

divide -5 from both side.

x=12/-5
