Question

Through (2, 4) and (5,-4)

Answer 1

Samantha, this is the solution:

d. x-intercept 3, y-intercept - 5

In consequence the ordered pairs we have are:

(3, 0)

(0, -5)

Now we can find the equation in the form y = mx + b, as follows:

m = (- 5 - 0)/(0 - 3)

m = 5/3

Using the same form, we calculate b, this way:

-5 = 5/3 * 0 + b

-5 = 0 + b

b = -5

Finally, our equation is:

y = 5/3x - 5
