Answer:

y = 3/5 x + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope equation of a straight line:

y - y1 = m (x - x1) where m = the slope amd (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Here:

m = (5- (-1)) / (5 - (-5))

= 6/10

= 3/5.

Substituting for m and (5, 5):

y - 5 = 3/5(x - 5)

y - 5 = 3/5x - 3

y = 3/5 x + 2.

Just sub in ANY number for x and solve for y

5x + 7y = 19.....lets say x = 0
5(0) + 7y = 19
7y = 19
y = 19/7...so when x = 0, y = 19/7.....(0,19/7)

5x + 7y = 19....lets say x = 1
5(1) + 7y = 19
5 + 7y = 19
7y = 19 - 5
7y = 14
y = 14/7
y = 2.....so when x = 1, y = 2......(1,2)

5x + 7y = 19.....lets say x = 3
5(3) + 7y = 19
15 + 7y = 19
7y = 19 - 15
7y = 4
y = 4/7...so when x = 3, y = 4/7.....(3,4/7)
