Which linear equation would produce a y-intercept of (0, - 7) and a slope of 5?

a.)
y = 5x - 7

b.)
y = -5x + 7

c.)
y = -7x + 5

d.)
y = 7x - 5

Answer:

a.) y = 5x - 7

Explanation:

Equation:

[tex]\sf y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

insert values

[tex]\sf y - (-7) = 5(x - 0)[/tex]

simplify

[tex]\sf y + 7 = 5x[/tex]

rewrite

[tex]\sf y = 5x - 7[/tex]

Which linear equation would produce a y-int. of (0,-7) and a slope of 5?

[tex]\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}[/tex]

Take the second co-ordinate of the point (0,-7), this is your y-intercept.

Next, just put it into y=mx+b in the place of b.

[tex]\bf{y=mx-7}[/tex] | now put in the slope, 5

[tex]\bf{y=5x-7}[/tex]

[tex]\cline{1-2}[/tex]

[tex]\bf{Result:}[/tex]

              [tex]\bf{=y=5x-7}[/tex]
