Question

Write an equation in general form that has a slope of 2 and y intercept -5

Answer 1

So, we can start by making the equation into slope-intercept form.

So, the general formula for slope-intercept is Y=mx+b.

M is the slope,B is the y-intercept. When we plug in these numbers we get

Y=2x-5

So, now we just need to subtract the Y and it should give us general form.

2x-Y-5=0

Answer 2

slope intercept form

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x -5

subtract y from each side

0= 2x-y-5

in general form

2x-y-5 =0
