Question

Given the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -2, what is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? A y = 5x + 2 B y = -5x - 2 C y = 2x + 5 D y = -2x - 5

Answer 1

B. y = -5x -2

Explanation:

Fill in the given values in the form ...

y = (slope)x + (y-intercept)

y = -5x +(-2)

y = -5x -2 . . . . simplify; matches choice B
