Answer: y = 0.4x + 4 or y= 2/5 +4

When x=0, y = 4

When y=0, x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = 2 / 5 = 0.4

1. Identify the coordinates (x₁,y₁)and(x₂,y₂). Calculate the slope of the line passing through the points (5,6) and (10, 8).

2. Input the values into the formula. This gives us (8 - 6)/(10- 5).

3. Subtract the values in parentheses to get 2/5.

4. Simplify the fraction to get the slope of 2/5.
