Question

Find the equation of the line. Use exact numbers. y = __x + __

Answer 1

Answer: y= x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

It already gave you the y-intercept, which is on the y-axis. It is: (0,-5)

So your equation is: y = mx-5

Now you find your slope by using the two points it gives us: (0,-5) and (5,0)

-5 - 0= -5(from the two y- coordinates) and 0 - 5 = -5(from the two x-coordinates)

That is -5 divided by -5 so the answer would be 1

Your equation is: y = 1x-5

But you don't have to put the 1 because the x itself counts as 1
