SOLUTION: write the equation of the line that passes through point (0,7) with a slope of -5

Question 81631: write the equation of the line that passes through point (0,7) with a slope of -5
Answer by chitra(359) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The equation of the the line passing through a given point and and the slope is given by:

y = mx + c

So substituting for the slope and the point, we find the value of c.

The given point is: (0,7) and the slope is -5

7 = (-5)(0) + c

c = 7

Hence, the equation is:

y = (-5)x + 7

y = -5x + 7

Hence, the solution.
