Question

What is the y-intercept (b) of a line with slope of 1/5 and going through the point (5,4) just the y-intercept)

Answer 1

y - intercept = 3

Explanation:

Equation of a line :

`(y - y_1) = m(x - x_1)`

`(x_1, y_1) = (5, 4)` ,
`slope, m = (1)/(5)`

Substituting the values in the equation:

`(y - 4) = (1)/(5)(x - 5)\\\\y = (1)/(5) x - 1 + 4\\\\y = (1)/(5)x +3`
