Y= -12/10+-5


(5,5) (-5,-7)

-7-5=-12
-5-5=-10

-12/-10

B=-5

Y=-12/10+-5

We can observe that the function describing the graph is linear and so the equation is of linear nature:


y=mx+n

Numbers m and n have special names. m is called the slope, n is called y-intercept.

From the graph one can tell that the line intercepts y-axis at y = -1 that means n = -1. What about the slope you say?

The slope can be calculated using two points' coordinates that lie on the line:


m=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(-1-5)/(0-5)=(6)/(5)

Now our line has an equation,


y=(6)/(5)x-1

Hope this helps.
