Question

Does the graph of the straight line with slope of 5 and yintercept of -1 pass through the point (1,-2)?

Answer 1

We have the equation \(y = 5x - 1\) where the slope is 5 and the intercept is -1. Now lets plug in \(y = -2\)

So $$
\begin{eqnarray*}
-2 &=& 5x - 1 \\
x &=& -\frac{1}{5}
\end{eqnarray*}
$$
So the answer is no.

Answer 2
