Question

There is a line whose y-intercept is -5 and whose slope is -1/7

What is its equation in
slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

y=-1/7x-5

Explanation:

Slope intercept is y=mx+b

This is where m is the slope of the equation and

b is the y-intercept of the equation

We are given the values of the slope and y-intercept.

Hence, all we need to do is to plug it into the form

y=(-1/7)x+(-5)

Hence, the equation of the line would be:

y=-1/7x-5
