Step-by-step explanation:
To write an equation in the slope-intercept form, we need the slope (which can also be calculated) and at least a coordinate.
What is slope-intercept form?
- y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
- When the coefficient of y is 1, and all the other terms are on the right-hand side of the equation
x- intercept occurs at y= 0 while y-intercept occurs at x= 0. With this information, let's write out the two coordinates given.
- (3, 0) and (0, -5)
With two coordinates, we can calculate the slope using the equation below.
Substitute the value of the slope into m in the equation.
Given that the y-intercept is -5, c= -5.
