Final answer:

The Slope-Intercept Form is y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept. Any given equation matching this format with specific values for m and b is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation in Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b), where 'm' represents the slope and 'b' represents the y-intercept, can be any of the ones provided given that they fit the structure. However, the student must understand that the coefficient of x (the number multiplied with x) indicates the slope of the line, while the constant term (without x) represents the y-intercept. For example, in the given options, y = -2x - 1 has a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of -1.
