Question

Find an equation of the line that has a slope of -1 and a y intercept of 5. Write your answer in the form

y = mx + b.
y =

Answer 1

`y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-1}x+\underset{\underset{\textit{\small b }}{\uparrow }}{5}\implies y=-x+5\qquad \impliedby \begin{array} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}`
