Question

Write a Linear Equation in Slope Intercept Form given the listed slopw and y-intercept.

m = –5, b = –3

Answer 1

The equation is y = -5x - 3.

Explanation:

The slope form equation is y = mx+b. So you just have to substitute the m and b value into the equation :

y = mx + b

m = -5

b = -3

y = -5x + (-3)

= -5x - 3
