Question

A line has a slope of -7 and has a y-intercept of 14 , what is the equation of the line in slope intercept form.

A.y=-2
B.y=-7x+14
C. y=14x-7
D. y=-2x+7

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The equation for a line is in the slope-intercept form: y = mx +b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Simply plug in the known values and viola!

y = (-7)x + (14)

y = -7x + 14

Therefore, your answer is B!

Hope this helps! =D

Answer 2

B. y = -7x + 14

Explanation:

Since -7 is the slope and 14 is the y-intercept, the equation would be y = -7x + 14.

I hope this helps! :)
