Question

write the equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through the point (1,2) and has a slope of -5

Answer 1

y = -5 × 1 + 2

Explanation:

1. y = y, m = slope, x = x point given (1), b = y point given, unless a zero (2)
2. Formula - y = mx + b
3. Plug it in
4. y = -5 × 1 + 2
