What is the equation of a line that has a slope of -5 and passes through the point (0, 2)? A. y = -5x

B. y = 2x - 5

C. y = -5x + 2

y=-5x+2

Step-by-step explanation: Luckily for you, they already pretty much gave you all the information you need for this problem. Keep in mind that the standard form for linear equations is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is figure 0, or the y-intercept. So, all you have to do is substitute the values for the given information. You know that -5 is the slope, m, and (0,2) is the y-intercept, or b (you know that this is the y-intercept because x is at zero). So, you'd be left with y=-5x+2.

Hope this helps,
