Use the slope-intercept formula to find the equation of the line with slope 5 and y-intercept (0, 3).
A) y = 3x + 5
B) 3x + 5y = 0
C) y = 5x + 3
D) 5y = 3

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope-intercept formula is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Therefore, in this case, m = 5 and b = 3. So, the equation of the line is:
y = 5x + 3

Option A has the correct slope, but the wrong y-intercept. Option B is in standard form and not slope-intercept form. Option D is not in slope-intercept form and does not have an x term.
