Question

Select the slope-intercept form of an equation for a line with y-intercept –5 and slope 2.
A. x = 2x + 5
B. y = 2x – 5
C. y = 5x – 2
D. y = –5x + 2

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form ⇒ y = mx + b

⇒ where mx is the slope,

⇒ b is the y-intercept

⇒According to the question;

mx which is the slope = 2

b the y-intercept = -5

∴ the equation is

y = 2x - 5

Option B

Answer 2

The slope-intercept form of an equation for a line with y-intercept –5 and slope 2 is y = 2x - 5.

To find : The slope-intercept form of an equation for a line with y-intercept –5 and slope 2.

Given :

y-intercept = - 5.

Slope ( m ) = 2.

General equation of slope-intercept is,

y = mx + b.   -----> ( 1 )

Here, "x" and "y" are the variables.

"m" is the slope.

"b" is the y-intercept.

Applying the values of y-intercept and slope in the equation ( 1 ), we get

y = mx + b

y = 2 x + ( - 5 )

y = 2 x - 5

Therefore, the option ( B ) y = 2 x - 5 is the correct answer.
