Question

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that passes through

(0, 5) and has a slope of -1? (6 points)
Oy=-x-5
Oy=x+5
Oy=-x+5
Oy=x-5

Answer 1

• C) y = - x + 5

---------------------------

The given point (0, 5) represents the y-intercept and we have a slope of -1.

It translates as:

• m = - 1, b = 5 in the slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b

By substituting we get equation:

• y = - x + 5

This is option C.
