The slope is -1 and the y-intercept is -5. Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form. Someone pls help me!

where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

We have both given slope and y-intercept. We can simply substitute the given slope and y-intercept in slope-intercept form.

Substitute m = -1 and b = - 5 in the equation.

We don't usually write 1x or -1x instead we write -x or x.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )

can you complete your sentence? i could !
