Answer:
- y = -5x +10
- (0, 10)
- (1, 5)
- see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Subtract 5x from both sides to put the equation in slope-intercept form:
y = -5x +10
__
2. The y-intercept is the point corresponding to x=0. The y-value when x=0 is the constant in the equation: 10. Then the point is ...
(x, y) = (0, 10)
You may notice this is one of the points listed in part 4, and is also used in question 3.
__
3. The x-value computed is 1; the y-value computed is 5. The point is ...
(x, y) = (1, 5)
You may notice this is one of the points listed in part 4.
