Question

Find the slope intercept equation of the line

Answer 1

y = -4/5x + 5

Explanation:

You need the equation y = mx + b

the y intercept is 5 which is b

You just need to pick any point on the line and use those coordinates to plug into the equation for x and y to solve for the slope (m)

I will use point (5, 1)

So plugging in that coordinate and the value for b in the equation

y = mx + b is (1) = m(5) + 5

Solve for m m= -4/5

so plug m and b back into the equation y = mx + b

is

y = -4/5x + 5

Answer 2

I know that the y-intercept is 5

Explanation:

because the line goes through 5
