Q. A line has a slope of −53 and a y-intercept of −51. Write its equation in slope-intercept form. Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.
Identify Form: Identify the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Insert Values: Insert the given slope and y-intercept into the slope-intercept form.We are given the slope m as −53 and the y-intercept b as −51. Substituting these values into the slope-intercept form, we get y=(−53)x+(−51).
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation if necessary.In this case, the equation y=5−3x+5−1 is already in its simplest form. There is no need for further simplification.
