Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (0,−5) and (−5,−5).


y=

Answer 1

y=0

Explanation:

(-5-(-5)÷(-5-0)=0

Answer 2

y = x - 5

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

[] m is the slope

[] b is the y-intercept

Slope

We can find slope by using change in y over change in x:

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

[] So our slope is 0

Y-intercept

We will plug in one of the points into our equation so far, and solve for b:

y = x + b

(-5) = (0) + b

-5 = b
