Question

Which equation shows a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of (0,1) ?

Answer 1

y = -5x + 1

Explanation:

Seeing the words "slope" and "y-intercept," I jump immediately to the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line: y = mx + b.

Here we have m = -5 and b = 1:

y = -5x + 1

Answer 2

y = -5x + 1

Explanation:

Y= mx +b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

y = -5x + 1
