Question

Write a linear function whose slope is -4 and y intercept is -5. Explain what these values mean in the equation.

What equation would work for this?

Answer 1

In y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position and the y int is in the b position.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -4
y int (b) = -5
y = -4x - 5
or
f(x) = -4x - 5
