Question

The line L is shown on the grid.

Find an equation for L.
Give your answer in the form y=mx+c

Answer 1

y = -5x - 5

Explanation:

Given the standard form of an equation as y=mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Using the coordinate points

(1, 0) and (0,-5)

m = -5-0/0+1

m = -5/1

m = -5

Get the intercept

Intercept is the point where thee line cuts the y axis. intercept is -5

Get the equation:

Recall that y = mx+c

y = -5x + -5

y = -5x - 5

This gives the required equation
