Convert y = -2x +5 to point slope form

Converting y = -2x +5 to point-slope form will be:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y = mx+b

where

Given the equation

comparing with the  slope-intercept form

Slope of the line = m = -2

The y-intercept b = 5

We know that the value of y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.

Thus, the ordered pair or point representing the y-intercept will be:

Now, we have

Now, using the point-slope form of the line equation

where

substituting the values m = -2 and the point (x₁, y₁) = (0, 5)

Therefore, converting y = -2x +5 to point-slope form will be:
