Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point 0,3 and has a slope of 5/2

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point (0, 3) and the slope of 5/2, we can plug those values into the following slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

where m = slope = 5/2

b = y-intercept (the point in the graph where it crosses the y-axis; it is also value of y when x = 0). The y-coordinate of the given point contains the y-intercept, (0, 3).  Therefore, the y-intecept = 3.

Putting these factors together, we can write the following equation:

y = 5/2x + 3
