Which equation has a slope of-7 and passes through the point(0,5)? Algebra Forms of Linear Equations Write an Equation Given the Slope and a Point 1 Answer Annie Nov 12, 2016 # y=-7x+5# Explanation: In the general equation #y =mx +c# #m# is the gradient and #c# is the y intercept #y=-7x +c# when #x=0, y=5# because the point (0,5) is on the line. Substitute these values to confirm the equation. graph{-7x+5 [-20, 20, -10, 10]} Answer link Related questions When writing an equation of a line, if I know more than one point, does it matter which one I choose?
