Slope = (10 - 5)/(-9 + 15) = 5/6

y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept

b = y - mx

b = 5 - (5/6) (-15)

b = 5 +12.5

b = 17.5

Equation y = 5/6 x + 17.5

Y-intercept = 17.5

X-intercept when y = 0

So

5/6 x + 17.5 = 0

5/6 x = -17.5

x = (-17.5) (6/5)

x = -21

Answer

Y intercept (0, 17.5 )

X intercept (-21 , 0)
