Question

What are the slope and y-intercept of the line described by the equation
y = -2x + 5?
A. Slope: 5; y-intercept: (0, -2)
B. Slope: -2; y-intercept: (0, 5)
C. Slope: -2; y-intercept: (0, -5)
D. Slope: 5; y-intercept: (0, 2)

Is the answer D?

Answer 1

Very important equation in math from here on out. Learn it.
If an equation is in the form: y = mx + b (which y = -2x + 5 is)
m is your slope and b is your y - intercept.
Now, just match up your equation to y = mx + b to get your slope and y-intercept
