The slope of a line is -1/5, and the y-intercept is 5. What is the equation of the line written in general form? x - 5y - 25 = 0 x - 5y - 5 = 0 x + 5y - 25 = 0

Respuesta :

in y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position and the y int is in the b position

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/5
y int (b) = 5

equation is : y = -1/5x + 5....but we need it in general form Ax + By + C = 0

y = -1/5x + 5...add 1/5x to both sides
1/5x + y = 5 ....multiply everything by 5
x + 5y = 25...subtract 25 from both sides
x + 5y - 25 = 0 <== general form

Answer:

x + 5y - 25 = 0
