Select the slope-intercept form of an equation for a line with y-intercept –5 and slope 2.

First off, we need to understand the slope intercept form:

y = mx + c
Where y is the y coordinates,
x is the x coordinates,
m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

We can then put the coordinates,slope and the y intercept into the point slope form:

y = (2)x+(-5)
y = 2x-5

Therefore the answer is y = -5.

Hope it helps!

I think that the answer would be y=2x-5 because the slope intercept form is y=mx+b in which 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.
