Question

Find the equation of the line.
Use exact numbers.
y =
++

Answer 1

y = 1x -5

Explanation:

y = mx + b

Since the line crosses the y axis at -5, that is our y-intercept and the b of the equation.

The slope is the rise over the run. Now the line goes down one and left one. This makes our slope 1/1 which we simply write as 1.

So the equation is y = 1x -5.
