Let’s find the slope and y intercept Slope: rate of change Given points (0,5) and (2,0) Slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (0-5)/(2-0) = -5/2 Y intercept = (0,y) = (0,5) Now into equation: y = mx + b Y = -5/2x + 5 Get rid of fraction (multiply be 2) 2y = -5x + 10 Add 5x to both sides 2y + 5x = 10 Or 5x + 2y = 10
