The slope of a line is -1/5, and the y-intercept is 5. What is the equation of the line written in general form?

x - 5y - 25 = 0
x - 5y - 5 = 0
x + 5y - 25 = 0

ima be perty proud of myself if this is rite @texaschic101 x+5y-25=0 which is C

y = -1/5x + 5
Multiply the equation by 5
5y = -x + 25
add x to both sides
x + 5y = 25
subtract 25 from both sides
x + 5y - 25 = 0

you got it...good job :)
