WRITE AN EQUATION OF THE LINE HAVING THE GIVEN SLOPE AND CONTAINING THE GIVEN Y-INTERCEPT, EXPRESS THE EQUATION IN THE FORM Y = mx + b if possible.
1. m = -1/5, b= -5
y = mx + b
m & b are given.
--> y + (-1/5)x - 5
-----------------------
Do the others the same way.
2. m = 6/5, b =4
3. m = 1/3 , b = -2
