Question

Which equation shows a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of (0,1)?

y = -1x -5

y = -5x + 1

y = 1x - 5

y = 5x + 1

Answer 1

y = -5x + 1

Explanation:

When the equation is written in slope-intercept form, as these are, then the slope is the coefficient of x. Here, the only equation that has -5 as the coefficient of x is ...

y = -5x +1
