Question

3 multiple choice 1 point write an equation in slope - intercept form for the line with a slope of -2 and a y - intercept of 5. $y = 2x - 5$ $y = -5x + 2$ $y = -2x + 5$ $y = 5x - 2$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope - intercept form

The slope - intercept form of a linear equation is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y - intercept.

Step2: Substitute the given values

We are given that the slope $m=-2$ and the y - intercept $b = 5$. Substituting these values into the slope - intercept form $y=mx + b$, we get $y=-2x + 5$.

Answer:

C. $y = -2x + 5$ (assuming the third option is labeled C, if the original options were labeled A, B, C, D with the third being C. If the original labeling was different, adjust the label accordingly. But the equation is $y=-2x + 5$)
