Question

Write in y=mx+b form

Answer 1

y=5/4x

Explanation:

First, take two points from the line. For example, I'll take (4,5) and (-4,-5)

The equation for slope (m) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

let's label the points

x1=4

y1=5

x2=-4

y2=-5

now substitute into the equation:

m=(-5-5)/(-4-4)

m=-10/-8

m=5/4

Next, let's use point slope form, which is y-y1=m(x-x1)

Substitute x1, y1, and m

y-5=5/4(x-4)

y-5=5/4x-5

add 5 to both sides

y=5/4x

Hope this helps!
