Question

Write an

equation of a line in slope-intercept form that passes through (5, 2) with a slope of -2.

Answer 1

y=-2x+12

Explanation:

This is an equation in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b (where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

We are given the slope, -2.

y=-2x+b

We plug in the values (5,2):

2=(-2)*5+b

2=-10+b

b=12

The equation is:

y=-2x+12
