What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

Line on a coordinate plane. The line runs through points begin ordered pair negative 2 comma 0 end ordered pair and begin ordered pair 0 comma 5 end ordered pair.

Answer:


f(x)=(5)/(2)x+5

Explanation:

1)Given two points (-2,0) and (0,5) let's find the slope, then the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form. Notice the last parameter to be found was the linear parameter "b" :


m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))=(5-0)/(0+2)=(5)/(2)\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{matrix}0 =&amp;(5)/(2)(-2)&amp;+b \\ 5=&amp; (5)/(2)(0) &amp;+b\\ \end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrow b=5 \therefore f(x)=(5)/(2)x+5
