Responses

y=4x−5
y is equal to 4 x minus 5

y=−5x+4
y is equal to negative 5 x plus 4

y=4/5x+4
y is equal to 4 fifths x plus 4

4x−5y=0

Answer 1

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

Given a slope of \( -5 \) and a y-intercept of \( 4 \), the equation of the line is:

\[ y = -5x + 4 \]

So the correct response is:

y = −5x + 4
y is equal to negative 5 x plus 4.
