In order to find a slope, there is an equation:
Y2-Y1/X2-X1
X1=2
X2=3
Y1=5
Y2=0
0-5= -5
3-2=1
Since slope is written as Y/X, slope would be-5/1 or simply, -5.
Now, we need to find the y-intercept.
To do this, shift the original equation:
Original equation: y=-5x+b
Shifted equation: b=y+5x
Now, plug in one of the points.
Let's use (2,5)
b=5+5(2)
5*2=10
10+5=15
y-intercept=15
So, the full equation of the line would be:
y=-5x+15
if you look at delta y over x, you'll notice it always equals 2
i.e (22-2)/10-0 = 20/10 = 2
or (14-2)/6-0 = 12/6 = 2
or even (22-8)/10-3 = 14/7 = 2
This means that m (slope) is 2.
Now as for b. b is the y intercept and that value occurs when x = 0. On the table, when x = 0 y = 2 so b = 2.
y = mx + b becomes
y = 2x + 2
So ummm... I think when you need to add zeroes is when your dividing and need your answer with no remainders, so you would add a decimal then add zeroes... I hope this is what you were looking for...?
