Question

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that has a slope of –3 and passes through the point (0, 5)?

Answer 1

y = -3x + 5

Explanation:

the equation in slope-intercept form of the line :

y = ax + b

→ a = slope = -3 (Given)

→ (0 , 5) represents the y intercept point then b = 5

Therefore our equation is :

y = -3x + 5
