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?
(the points on the graph:(1,2) (0,-3))
Responses:
Drew is correct because the line has a slope of 5 and a y-intercept of -3.
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.
