Question

Identify the slope and write the equation of the line .

Answer 1

y=-2x+5; slope is -2

Explanation:

slope is rise/run. we can see it rises 2 and goes left one which would give us rise/run=2/-1=-2. that is our slope.

using y=mx+b to write the equation, m is slope and b is the y-int.. we can see that the y-int. is (0,5). we can plug 5 into b.

plugging b and m in we can get the equation: y=-2x+5
