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.
