The equation of a line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 5 is y = -2x + 5
Solution:
Given that slope is -2 and y-intercept is 5
We need to find the equation of line
The equation of line when slope and y-intercept is given can be calculated using "slope-intercept form"
The slope intercept form is given as:
y = mx + b
where "m" is the slope of line and "b" is the y-intercept
Plugging the given values in slope intercept form, we get
y = -2x + 5
Thus the required equation of line is found
