How do you find an equation in slope intercept form of a line having slope -2 and y-intercept 5?

Answer 1

Avery Alexander

#y=-3x+5#

The slope-intercept form for a linear equation is:

#y=mx+b#,

where:

#m# is the slope and #b# is the y-intercept.

Plug in the given slope and y-intercept.

#y=-3x+5#

To find the equation in slope-intercept form of a line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 5, use the formula:

[ y = mx + b ]

Substitute the given values for slope (( m )) and y-intercept (( b )) into the equation:

[ y = -2x + 5 ]

So, the equation in slope-intercept form of the line is ( y = -2x + 5 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
