Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0,5) and (-5,7) Put your answer in fully reduced form

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2/5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you want the equation in point slope form? So assuming that, (0, 5) is the y intercept which is b in the equation y=mx+b (b=5). Now you have to find the slope, paper is really handy (I like drawing a graph out to help me sometimes but an easy way to do it is another equation like this...

y2-y1/x2-x1=

7-5/-5-0=

2/5 --> So 2/5 is the slope, and that finishes the equation

Final equation in point slope form: y=2/5x+5
