Question

Find the equation of the line.Use exact numbers.

Answer 1

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

The line passes through the y-axis at the point (0, -5). So, -5 is the y-intercept.

We can use the points (0, -5) and (5, 0) to solve.

Slope formula: y2-y2/x2-x1

0-(-5)/5-0)

5/5

1

The slope is 1.

Substitute these values into the equation.

y = 1x + (-5)

y = x - 5

Therefore, the answer is [ y = x - 5 ]

Best of Luck!
