Write an equation of a line with the given slope and y-intercept.

Question

m = –5, b = –7

y = –5x + 7

y = –7x – 5

y = 5x – 7

y = –5x – 7

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 \( m = -5 \) and \( b = -7 \), you can substitute these values into the equation:

\[ y = -5x - 7 \]

So the correct equation of the line is:

\( y = -5x - 7 \)
