What is the equation of a line that has a slope of -5 and passes through the point (0, 2)? y = 2x - 5??

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no. you have it backwards

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

the slope should be the coeffcient of x then the y-intercept is the constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh! y=-5+2??

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

-5x

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

y = -5x + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I was right?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yeah. you just missed the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok lol. thanks!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
