Question

Write the equation line with a slope of -5 and a y intercept of 2.

Answer 1

y = -5x+2

Explanation:

Using the equation: y=mx+b and our slope and y-intercept, we get:

(m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)

y = -5x+2

Answer 2

y = -5x + 2

Explanation:

Think about it this way:

y = ax + b

(a) = represents the slope

(b) = represents the y-intercept.

if the Y- intercept is negative so the "+" will turn to a "-"
