Question

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form with a slope of -1 and a y-

intercept of -1.
y = -x - 5
y = -5x - 1
y = -x-1
y= -5x -5

Answer 1

y = -x - 1

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Plug in the slope and y intercept into the equation

y = mx + b

y = -x - 1 is the equation in slope intercept form

Answer 2

y = -x - 1

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Plug in the slope and y intercept into the equation

y = mx + b

y = -x - 1 is the equation in slope intercept form
