A) $y = - \frac { 2 } { 5 } x - 6$
B) $y = \frac { 2 } { 5 } x - 6$
C) $y = \frac { 2 } { 5 } x + 6$
D) $y = - \frac { 2 } { 5 } x + 6$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Given the slope $-\frac{2}{5}$ and y-intercept 6, the equation is $y = -\frac{2}{5}x + 6$.
