Question

A line slope has a slope -5 and passes through the point (2,2)..An equation for this line is

Answer 1

y = -5x + 12

Explanation:

First remember the equation y = mx + b

We have values for x, y, and m so all we need to do is solve for b.

2 = -5 (2) + b

2 = -10 + b

12 = b

Then plug that value back in and keep the variables for x and y

y = -5x + 12
