Question

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that passes through (0, 5) and has a slope of −1?

y = −x − 5
y = x + 5
y = −x + 5
y = x − 5

Answer 1

y=mx+b

m=slope
b=y intercept

Given the slope:
y=-1x+b

(0,5)
y intercept is 5 because they have already given just y.
b=5
y=-1x+5

Final answer: y = -x + 5
