Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. (1 point) Responses −5x−y=−1 negative 5 x minus y equals negative 1 y=−5x−1 y equals negative 5 x minus 1 y=5x+1 y equals 5 x plus 1 y=−5x+1

Answer 1

To find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), let’s start with the equation given:

\[ -5x - y = -1 \]

We want to solve for \(y\).

1. Add \(5x\) to both sides: \[ -y = 5x - 1 \]

2. Now, multiply through by -1: \[ y = -5x + 1 \]

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

\[ y = -5x + 1 \]

So the correct response from your options is \(y = -5x + 1\).
