Question

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Start at the point at (-5,0). To get to the point at (0,-1), you’d go “down 1, right 5” so the slope is m = -1/5.

The b-value for y=mx+b is the -1 from (0, -1).

So the equation becomes: y = -1/5 x - 1.

Answer 2

Try in the lines of Y=mx+b
