The slope of a line is negative 1 / 5 and the y-intercept is 5 what is the equation of the line written in general form

Answer;

= x + 5y -25 =0

Explanation;

Thee equation of a line in general form is ;

Ax + By + C = 0

Where A, B and C are integers.

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b ; where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

In this case; m = -1/5 and b =5

thus; y = -1/5 x + 5 (the slope-intercept form)

y = -1/5 x + 5

Multiplying all terms by 5

5 y = -x + 25

= x + 5 y - 25 = 0 (in general form)

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
