You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope intercept form is \"y=mx%2Bb\" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. They give you \"y=5x\" they want you to find \"b\".
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=5x%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "plug the point (2,-1) into the equation. The x-value replaces \"x\" and the y value replaces the \"y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-1=5%2A2%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-1=10%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-11=b\"
\n" ); document.write( "Plug \"b\" back into the equation. The equation you would get is \"y=5x-11\". This would be the slope intercept form.
