Question

(0, -5) and (−5,−6) determine the equation of the line.

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

`(x_1,y_1)\rightarrow(0,-5)`

`(x_2,y_2)\rightarrow(-5,-6)`

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(-6-(-5))/((-5)-0)=(-6+5)/(-5)=(-1)/(5)=-(1)/(5)`

`y=-(1)/(5)x+b`

`-5=-(1)/(5)(0)+b`

`-5=b`

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

Answer 2

1/5x - 5
