Question

Write the y = mx + b equation of a line whose slope is -5 and whose y-
intercept is 10.

Answer 1

y = -5x + 10

Explanation:

=========================================

The general slope-intercept form is:

`y = mx + b\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\m \text { - slope}\\b \text{ - Y Intercept}`

=========================================

We are given:

• A slope of -5.
• A y-intercept of 10.

We would replace 'm ' with -5 and 'b' with 10.

=========================================

`y = mx + b \rightarrow \boxed{y = -5x + 10}`

=========================================

Hope this helps!
