Question

Write an equation in slope -intercept form for the given slope and y-intercept.slope: -6; y-intercept: 1/5

Answer 1

Solution:

The slope-intercept form of the equation is

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ Where\text{ } \\ m\text{ is the slope} \\ c\text{ is the y-intercept} \end{gathered}$

Given that;

$\begin{gathered} m=-6 \\ c=\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}$

The equation of the line will be

$y=-6x+\frac{1}{5}$

Hence, the answer is

$y=-6x+\frac{1}{5}$
