You can put this solution on YOUR website! Please help me write an equation in slope-intersept form of the line that satisfies the given condition and show my work : m=2, contains (1, -5). I would also like to know how you find the y- intersept.
-----------------------
You are looking for the m and b of y=mx+b
You are given x=1,y=-5 and m=2, so:
-5=2(1)+b
-5=2+b
b=-7 (this is the y-intercept)
EQUATION:
y=2x-7
