Question

The slope of a line is -1/5, and the y-intercept is 5. What is the equation of the line written in general form? x - 5y - 25 = 0 x - 5y - 5 = 0 x + 5y - 25 = 0

Answer 1

answer is x + 5y - 25 = 0

y - 5 = -1/5 (x-0)
y - 5 = -1/5x
-5y + 25 = x
x + 5y - 25 = 0

Answer 2

x + 5 y - 25 = 0

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Equation of straight line is given by y = mx + c

Slope of line , m = -1/5

y- intercept, c = 5

Substituting

`y=mx+c\\\\y=(-1)/(5)x+5\\\\y=(-x+25)/(5)\\\\5y=-x+25\\\\x+5y-25=0`

x + 5 y - 25 = 0

Option C is the correct answer.
