Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for

each line described. slope = -1, y-intercept = 1

Answer 1

Hi, there.

______

First off, let's remember the slope-intercept formula.

`-\!\!\!\longrightarrow`
`\boldsymbol{y=mx+b}`.

Here,

»
`\boldsymbol{m}` -> gradient

»
`\boldsymbol{b}` -> y-intercept

≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊≊

We know that

»
`\boldsymbol{m}` -> -1

»
`\boldsymbol{b}` -> 1

So let's substitute these parameters!

`\boldsymbol{y=-1x+1}`

Simplify.

`\boldsymbol{y=-x+1}`

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!!
