Question

An equation that crosses the Y axis at -5 and crosses the X axis at five

Answer 1

y = x - 5

Explanation:

Slope-intercept formula:

• y = mx + b

The value of b already given, it is -5, so

• y = mx - 5

Points as per description:

• (0, -5) and (5, 0)

The slope is:

• m= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (0+5)/(5-0) = 1

Then we get the formula:

• y = x - 5
