Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form, where the slope is -5 and t y-intercent is 3.

Answer 1

y = -5x + 3

Explanation:

Slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

Where "y' is the dependent variable, "x" is the independent variable, "m" is the slope(rise/run), and "b" represents the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis).

Given:

Slope = -5

Y-int = 3

Plug them into the equation by substituting values:

y = mx + b

y = -5x + 3
