Question 61107: how can i write the equation of the line with slope 4 and y-intercept (0, –5). Then graph the line
Answer by tutorcecilia(2152) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=mx+b [slope-intercept form of a line]
y=any y value of the line
m=the slope of the line
x=any corresponding x value of the line
b=the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis at point (0,b)]
.
So, the slope 4 and y-intercept (0, –5)
y=mx+b [substitute the values for the slope and y-intercept]
y=4x-5
