Question

Write the equation of the line with the given slope, -5/7and y-intercept, -12.
A. y = -(5/7)x - 12
B. y = -(5/7)x + 12
C. y = -12x - (5/7)
D. y = -12x + (5/7)

Answer 1

usually the slandered format of an equation of a straight line is
y = mx + b
where
m ( coefficient of x ) = slope
b = intercept

now u have got the value of m and b already
u just have to substitute them in
y =mx + b
and get the answer...

got it :) ?

Answer 2

exactly....
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -5/7
y intercept (b) = -12
so just sub
