Question 22008: how do you write (5,-12), m=-11 in slope intercept form

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Standard form for slope intercept is y=mx%2Bb
You already have m
y=-11x%2Bb
Since you want to find b, and you have an ordered pair, why not use it?
Plug 5 in for X and -12 for Y
-12=-11%285%29%2Bb
-12=-55%2Bb
43=b
So, your answer is
highlight%28y=-11x%2B43%29
Hope this helps!
