Question

Write the equation in standard form that has a slope of -5/2 and a y-intercept of -2

Answer 1

y = -5/2 x - 2

Explanation:

The standard form of equation of a line is expressed as;

y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the yintercept

Given

m = -5/2

c = -2

Substotute into the exoression above

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

y = -5/2 x - 2

Hence the equation in standard form is y = -5/2 x - 2
