Question

How do you write the equation of the line with a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of (0,3)?

Answer 1

`color(red)(y=-5x+3)`

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form for a line with slope `color(green)(m)` and y-intercept `color(blue)(b)` is
`color(white)("XXX")y=color(green)(m)x+color(blue)(b)`

Substituting the given values into the general form gives the answer shown above.
