Question

The slope of a line is - 1/5, and the y-intercept is 5. What is the equation of the line written in general form?

O x - 5y - 5 = 0
Ox - 5y - 25 = 0
Ox+ 5y - 25 = 0

Answer 1

x+5y-25

Explanation:

Slope Intercept form equation: -1/5x+5=y

Convert to General:

1. 1/5x+y=5 (move variable terms to one side)

2. x+5y=25 (multiply by five to remove fractions)

3. x+5y-25=0 (move 25 over to set equal to zero)
