Question

A line goes through the points (0, -5) and (-3, -3). Find the slope, and then use the point that is the y-intercept to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

m = -2/3 and the equation is y = -2/3 x -5

Explanation:

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1 so -3+5/-3-0, so m = -2/3

Put it all together y = -2/3 x -5 since (0,-5) is the y intercept since x = 0
