Find the equation of a line given the point and slope below. Arrange your answer in the form y=mx+b, where b is the
constant
(-1,5)
m=1

First, we put the values of the given point into the general equation, giving:

0 = m * -1 + b (1)

Now plug in the given value of m into equation (1), giving:

0 = 2 + b (2)

Solving equation (2), we find that b = -2.

Now we can write the required equation as:

y = -2x - 2
