Write the equation of a line with a slope of - 2 and a y-intercept of 5.

Which of these is correct?

A) - 2x + y = 5

B) 2x - y = 5

C) y = - 2x + 5

D) y = 5x - 2

The answer is C, because the - 2x is describing the slope and rate at which X is changing in terms of y, and the 5 is describing where the line intersects the y-axis. In this case It would be at (0,5).
