Find the Equation Using Slope-Intercept Form m=0 , b=-5

$m = 0$ , $b = - 5$

Step 1

Find the value of $b$ using the formula for the equation of a line.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Replace the known value of $m$ in the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

$y = (0) \cdot x + b$

Step 3

Replace the known value of $b$ in the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

$y = (0) \cdot x - 5$

Step 4

Simplify the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = (0) \cdot x - 5$

Multiply $0$ by $x$ .

$y = 0 \cdot x - 5$

Remove parentheses.

$y = (0) \cdot x - 5$

Simplify $(0) \cdot x - 5$ .

Multiply $0$ by $x$ .

$y = 0 - 5$

Subtract $5$ from $0$ .

$y = - 5$
