Question

Give the equation of the line with the following slope and y-intercept.m = = 1, b = − 7y=

Answer 1

The form of the slope-intercept equation is

`y=mx+b`

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Since m = -1

Since b = -7

Substitute them in the form of the equation above

`\begin{gathered} y=-1(x)+(-7) \\ \\ y=-x-7 \end{gathered}`

The answer is

y = -x - 7
