Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with the slope 3 and y-intercept is -5

Answer 1

The line equation in slope-intercept form is y= mx + b , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

 y = 3x + (-5)                           (Substitute 3 for m, – 5 for b)

Product of two different sings is negative.

 y = 3x - 5                                (Simplify)
