Question

Graph the following equation.An equation that crosses the y-axis at -5 and slope of 1

Answer 1

To graph the equation, we use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

The slope-intercept form is:

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{Where m=slope, b=y-intercept} \end{gathered}`

Since we are given that:

• Slope, m=1

,

• y-intercept, b= -5

The equation of the line is:

`y=x-5`

We then graph it and attach below:
