Question 382608: Write an equation in slope-intercept for the line that fits this description:
crosses the y-axis at -1 and has a slope of 5
Answer by kingme18(98)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis).
You were given where it crosses the y-axis. That is the y-intercept, or b. For you, b=-1.
You were given that the slope is 5. m means slope, so m=5.
You just need to plug these into the formula y=mx+b ... y=5x+-1, or y=5x-1
