Write an equation of a line that has slope -5 and y-intercept 2

Step 1. The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Note the y-intercept occurs when x=0 or at the point (0,b).

Step 2. Substituting m=-5 and b=2, we have y=-5x+2. Note at x=0, y=2 or the y-intercept.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
