Question

write the equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept ..slope is -2 and a y-intercept of 5​

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

Since you know:

m = -2

b = 5 Substitute/plug it into the equation

y = mx + b

y = -2x + 5
