Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope:

(1, 5)
Slope = -1

PLS HELP PLS PLS TYSM

Answer 1

y = -x + 6

Explanation:

We can plug the given point and slope into the point-slope formula and solve for the y-intercept formula.

y - y = m(x - x) <-- Point-Slope Formula

m = -1

(x,y) = (1, 5)

y - 5 = -1(x - 1)

y - 5 = -x + 1

y = -x + 6 <-- Y-intercept Formula
