Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with slope −1 that contains the point (5,−2).

A. y = x + 5

B. y = −x + 5

C. y = −x + 3

D. y = −x − 2

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

y = mx = b is slope intercept form

m= slope b = y-axis intercept ..... sub in the values given

-2 = (-1)(5) + b shows b = 4

y = -x + 3
