Write your answer as y=mx+b. Write your answer as a fraction if it is not an integer. (#/#)

Answer 1

y = 1/5 x +5

Explanation:

Substitute the values of y and x from the given coordinate and solve for b.

7 = 1/5(10) + b

7= 2 + b

7-2 =b

5 = b

Answer 2

If I'm understanding the question,

Answer: y = (1/5)x + 5
