Question

Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point. m=-5 (5,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -5x + 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Write in known variables

slope m = -5

y = -5x + b

Step 2: Find b

7 = -5(5) + b

7 = -25 + b

b = 32

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = -5x + 32
