Write an equation of a line with the given slope and y-intercept. m = –5, b = –3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THe form is y = mx + b just plug the numbers in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its y=-5*-3+b ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not quite. \[\LARGE y= mx + b\]\[\large where\]\[\LARGE m = -5\]\[\LARGE b = -3\]So where m is, put in -5. WHere b is, plug in -3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-5x+-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup. However, +- can be simplified to -. So, it would be y = -5x - 3 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thank you :D

np :)
