Question

What’s an equation of the line that has a y intercept of -2 and a slope of 5

Answer 1

y = 5x - 2

Explanation:

Hello, V,

In the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, replace the y-intercept (b) with -2 and the slope (m) with 5:

General form: y = mx + b

This case: y = 5x - 2 (answer)

Answer 2

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Given: m = 5 and b = -2

Answer:

y = 5x - 2
