Question

Which is the equation of a line with a slope of −13 and a y-intercept at (0, 1)?

Answer 1

Use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

y = mx + b

where m = slope, and the y-intercept is (0, b).

You have a slope of -13, so m = -13. Your y-intercept is (0, 1), so b = 1.

y = -13x + 1

Answer 2

y=-13x+1 because the plus 1 is the y intercept shown as (0,1) and the x is the slope of -13
