Question

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form with a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -1?

Answer 1

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
when m = slope and b = y-intercept

so replace m with -5
and replace b with -1 in y = mx + b

Answer 2

I'm confused

Answer 3

when I say replace m with -5
it's like y = -5x + b see what I did?

Answer 4

is b -6?

Answer 5

b = y-intercept
they told you y-intercept is -1
therefore b is -1

Answer 6

so y = -5x -1 ?
