Find the equation of the line

Y= __x +__

y = 1x - 5

m = 1, b = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation that we are solving form is known as slope intercept form: y = mx + b.

Given a graph that intersects the x axis at -5, rises one y every one run of x, the slope must be one as the point where (0,-5) → (1,-4) → (2,-3) → (3,-2) you can see that y, and x change by positive one every time, so this is the reasoning. A linear equation is always straight so it's slope is always the same, so you can just pick two points and find the difference in x, and y values to get the slope. Think about it like this, you start with negative five and go up one each x. Therefore, your equation is y = x - 5. As a coefficient of 1 or slope of 1 will leave x by itself since multiplying anything by 1 is itself.

well the 1 and -1 are always after the 0 and the 0 is inthe middle. s thats what i would guess. but i dont know what a slope of 2 is sorry
