Question

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of -5 and passes through the point (0, 2)?
a) y=-5x
b) y=-5x+2
c) y=2x-5

Answer 1

\[\huge~\rm~y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]

Answer 2

We need to use this formula it is called the point slope formula
m=slope
(x1,y1)

Answer 3

okay so, so y=mx+b right... so in this case y=-5x + b

Answer 4

plug in values for x and y of your point in this equation

Answer 5

(2=-5(0)+b)

Answer 6

solve for b

Answer 7

b=2

Answer 8

so y=-5x +2

Answer 9

Or just give the answer -_-
