What is the equation of a line that has a slope of -5 and passes through the point (0, 2)? A. y = -5x

B. y = 2x - 5

C. y = -5x + 2

y=-5x+2

Step-by-step explanation: Luckily for you, they already pretty much gave you all the information you need for this problem. Keep in mind that the standard form for linear equations is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is figure 0, or the y-intercept. So, all you have to do is substitute the values for the given information. You know that -5 is the slope, m, and (0,2) is the y-intercept, or b (you know that this is the y-intercept because x is at zero). So, you'd be left with y=-5x+2.

Hope this helps,

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
