Write the standard form of the equation of the line with slope -1 and y-intercept 1

.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, is the standard form of a line. Note that , , and are constants that can be equal to zero.

The question provided the slope and the y-intercept of the line in question. Hence, start with the slope-intercept form and rewrite to produce the standard form.

The slope-intercept form of a line is in the form

,

where

In this case,

Hence the line in the slope-intercept form:

, or, simply, .

Rearrange the equation to produce the standard form. Add to both sides of the equation:

.

.

And that's the standard form of this line. In this case, are all equal to .
