Question

What is an equation for the linear function whose graph contains the points (2, 5) and (3, 0) ?

Answer 1

Y = -5x + 15

You can use point slope formula to get the answer

Answer 2

Answer: x + 5y - 15 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find the slope

Given : x₁ = 2 y₁= 5 x₂= 3 y₂=0

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

m = 0-5 / 3-2

m = -5 / 1 = -5

equation of a straight line;

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - 5 = -5(x - 2)

y - 5 = -5x + 10

y + 5x - 15 = 0
