Answer 1

Answer:

Equation:     y = 1/5x - 2

Slope (m):    1/5

The graph of the line equation y = 1/5x - 2 is also attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

• m is the slope

• b is the y-intercept

Given the ordered pairs

• (5, -1)

• (-5, -3)

Finding the slope between the points (5, -1) and (-5, -3)

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(5,\:-1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-5,\:-3\right)$

$m=\frac{-3-\left(-1\right)}{-5-5}$

Refine

$m=\frac{1}{5}$

Thus, the slope (m) = 1/5

Also given that the y-intercept b = -2

Now, substituting m = 1/5 and y-intercept b = -2 in the slope-intercept form

y = mx+b

y = 1/5x + (-2)

y = 1/5x - 2

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

• y = 1/5x - 2

The graph of the line equation y = 1/5x - 2 is also attached below.
