Question

Find the equation of the line.
Use exact numbers.

Answer 1

y=1X+-5

Explanation:

Y=mx+b

(linear equation)

m represents the slope

and from one cordinate to another you move one point up and one point to the right

-----

b represents the y intercept

in this case when x is 0 y is -5 so b is -5

Answer 2

y=x-5

Explanation:

x-intercept (5,0) => 0 =a.5 +b(1)

y-intercept (0,-5) => -5 =a.0 +b(2)

From (1) and (2), a =1 ,b=-5
