Question

Determine the equation for the given line in slope-intercept form.

y=-5/3x-1

y=5/3x+1

y=3/5x+1

y=-3/5x-1

Answer 1

The last answer is correct

y =
`(-3)/(5 )` x - 1

Explanation:

You can see that the graph crosses the y axis at (0,-1). So, the graph crosses the y axis at -1. Count how much you go down and the to right from the point on the left to the point on the right. You go down 3 and left 5. This is a negative slope of
`(-3)/(5)`.

y = mx + b Put in the slope for m and the y-intercept by b

y =
`(-3)/(5)`x = 1
