Question

Write in equation that represents the line

Answer 1

y =
`(6)/(5)`x -5

Explanation:

Whenever we have a line such as this one, (A linear or straight line) we can write an equation with the form y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

To calculate slope or "m" we see how many times the point goes up, and how many times it goes to the right, and then put it in a fraction.

(Units it goes up) / (Units it goes to the right)

The y-intercept is what number the line intersects on the y-axis.

On this line it intersects at the -5 point.

So the equation when you put in the values is y =
`(6)/(5)`x -5

Answer 2

y = 6/5x -5

Explanation:

Using the slope formula,

you can find the slope

or just divide the amount of units up by

the amount of units right.

Then find the y intercept which is (0,5)
