Answer:

m = 5

Explanation:

Given , x = m, y = 5 (from (m,5) )

5x - y = 20

=> 5m - 5 = 20

=> 5m = 20 + 5

=> 5m = 25

=> m = 25/5

=> m = 5

Answer:

m = 5

Explanation:

Let's convert 5x - y = 20 to slope-intercept format: y = mx + b

5x - y = 20

-y = -5x + 20

y = 5x - 20

Now, we can input the y-value(5) to find the x-value(m)

5 = 5m - 20

25 = 5m

m = 5
