Answer: y=(1/5)m+3
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the standard form of an equation of a straight line: y=mx+b, whre m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
y=mx+b
We know b (3), so:
y=mx + 3
To find the slope, m, we can use the one given point, (5,4):
y=mx + 3 for (5,4) would be:
4 = m*5+3
1 = 5m
m = (1/5)
y=(1/5)m+3
