Question

What is the equation of a line with a

slope of -2 and crosses the vertical axis
at the point (0, 5)?

Answer 1

y=-2x+5

Explanation:

y=mx+b

m is the slope which is -2

b is the y intercept which is given in the problem, 5

Answer 2

y=-2x+5

Explanation:

the slope is m and the y-intercept is b in the form y=mx+b, and -2 is the slope and 5 is the y-intercept in this equation, so y=-2x+5
