Question

2. Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form given the following:b= -4, m=1/5

Answer 1

Slope means inclination of the line

Intercept means the point where the line cuts the y axis

general form of the quation is

y= mx + b. Here m is the slope(inclination) , and b is intercept

then replace m=1/5. b=-4

y=(1/5)x + (-4) = (1/5)x -4
