Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,0) and has a slope of 5/2

Answer 1

Answer :

y = 5/2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = 5/2 , thus
y = 5/2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (2, 0) into the partial equation
0 = 5 + c ⇒ c = 0 - 5
y = 5/2x - 5 ← equation of line
