Question

Select the description that is true of the equation y=-5x+5 .



slope = 5


slope = 1/5


y-intercept equals 5


y-intercept equals -5

Answer 1

In y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position and the y intercept is in the b position.

y = (m)x + (b)
y = -5  x  + 5.....slope (m position) = -5....y int (b position) = 5
