Question

What is the y-intercept (b) of a line with slope of 1/5 and going through the point (5,4) just the y-intercept)

Answer 1

Answer:

y - intercept = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line :

                    $(y - y_1) = m(x - x_1)$

$(x_1, y_1) = (5, 4)$ , $slope, m = \frac{1}{5}$

Substituting the values in the equation:

$(y - 4) = \frac{1}{5}(x - 5)\\\\y = \frac{1}{5} x - 1 + 4\\\\y = \frac{1}{5}x +3$
