Question

A line has a slope of -3 and a y intercept of 5. Write the equation of the line jn slope intercept form and explain how you use the slope and y intercept to graph the equation

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form y = mx + b

m = slope (-3)

b = y-intercept (5)

hence, the slope-intercept form is:

y = -3x + 5

This gives us one point the line goes through, and the direction we should continue from that point to draw the entire line.
