Writing an equation of a line given its slope and y-intercept

write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope - 5 and y-intercept 1.

The answer is y = - 5x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of slope-intercept equation is y = mx + b

here "m" is the slope of the equation and "b" is the y-intercept.

The above problem question we are provided with the following information

slope = m = - 5

y-intercept = b = 1

putting the values in the slope-intercept equation

y = mx + b

y = (-5) x + 1

y = - 5x + 1 is the required slope-intercept eqaution
