Question 782613: Which of the following is an equation of a line that passes through points (0.5 and has a negative slope?
Y= -5x + 5
y= 5x -5
y= 5x
y= -5x -5
Just not understanding, will get personal help in the for a more detailed understanding of intercepting slopes.

Assuming the point is (0,5), the answer is y = -5x+5 because this equation has a negative slope (-5, which is in front of the x) and it has a y-intercept of 5, which is the point (0,5)

So those two facts explain why the answer is y = -5x+5
