Question

Write a linear equation using y=mx+b (Do NOT use spaces!!)

Answer 1

y=-2x+5

Explanation:

x is rise over run, and 2 is 2 over one. the line is facing downward, therfore making it negative. b is just the y intercept. if it were anywhere past the yx axis it would be negative, but since it is not, its positive. the line meets the y axis at 5, making b=

Answer 2

y=-2x+5

Explanation:

The m is the slope, and which we can obtain by seeing that the line goes down 2 and over 1.

m = 2/1 or m = 1

The b is the y-intercept, so b = 5
