Question

A line is decreasing from left to right and crosses the y-axis at-5. Which of the following equations matches the

description of the line?
A. y=5x=5
B. y=-5x-5
C. y=5x -5
D. y=-5x + 5

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

y=mx+b is the slope-intercept form. Y will remain the same. Since the slope is decreasing, use a negative. The y-intercept is -5, so substitute that for b.
