Question

Write the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of -5

Answer 1

y = -2x - 5

Explanation:

y = is a standard for any equation, as is the use of x as a variable, unless something else is specified.

-2x is the way to denote a slope of -2, and -5 gives you the y-intercept of 5. One point on this line would be (0, -5).
