Drew says the equation for the line is y=5x−3

. Matt says the equation should be −5x+y=−3
. Who is correct and why?

Drew is correct because the line has a slope of 5 and a y-intercept of -3.

Matt is correct because when you plug in the points (0,-3) and (1,2) from the graph for x
and y
they are solutions for the equation.

Neither are correct. The equations don't graph that line.

Both are correct. Drew used the slope-intercept form and Matt used the standard form of writing equations.

Drew is correct because the equation y=5x-3 is in slope-intercept form, which clearly shows that the slope is 5 and the y-intercept is -3. Matt's equation is in standard form, and when converted to slope-intercept form, it will match Drew's equation. Therefore, Drew is correct.
