Find an equation of the line that has a slope of 5 and a y intercept of -10. Write your answer in the form y = m x + b .

Answer 1

Hello Jessica,

For an equation in the form y = mx + b:

m represents the slope, which you're told is 5 for this problem

b represents the y-intercept, which you're told is -10 for this problem.

So, really, you've got all the pieces for the answer. Let's put it together:

y = 5x - 10

Cheers.
