Responses

y=−5x+5
y is equal to negative 5 x plus 5

y=5x−13
y is equal to 5 x minus 13

y=−5x+13
y is equal to negative 5 x plus 13

y=−5x−13

Answer 1

To convert the equation from point-slope form \( y - 2 = -5(x + 3) \) to slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute \(-5\) on the right side of the equation:
\[
y - 2 = -5x - 15
\]

2. Add \(2\) to both sides to solve for \(y\):
\[
y = -5x - 15 + 2
\]
\[
y = -5x - 13
\]

Now we have the equation in slope-intercept form:

\[
y = -5x - 13
\]

Therefore, the correct response is:

**y = −5x − 13**.
