How would you graph y=-2x+5? Identify the slope and y-intercept?

Question

I really need help on this one...if you could explain how you did it that would be great...this is one of the last problems and I need to know it for a test.

Answer 1

the slope is -2 over 1 because the number infront of x is always on top of 1, which means you go down 2 and over one to the right. then the y-intercept is 5

Answer 2

the rule to find this is y=mx+c, where m is the gradient(slope) and c is the intercept point on the y axis, so -2 is the gradient and 5 is the intercept point.

Answer 3

Start at 5 on the y axis, then go down 2, over one.

Answer 4

slope is -2[which is -2/1 when graphing it]

the y intercept is 5

so you find 5 on the y axis and put a dot there

then you go down 2 [down because its negative] and over 1 [because its rise/run]

and either THEIR the answer is wrong or you wrote the question wrong
