Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form with a slope of -5 and passes through the point (-1, -8).

Answer :

Slope intercept form ( y = mx + b)

m is your slope
b is your y intercept

Substitute the point (-1 (x), -8 (y)) into the formula with your slope to find the y intercept

Y = mx + b
-8 = -5 (-1) + b
-8 (-5)= 5 (-5)+ b
-13 = b

So y = -5x -13 is your answer
