PLZ HURRY!!!

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

Line on a coordinate plane. The line runs through points begin ordered pair negative 5 comma 0 end ordered pair and begin ordered pair 0 comma 3 end ordered pair.

Enter your answer in the boxes.

y =
x +

Answer 1

y =
`-(3)/(5)` x + 3

Explanation:

To find slope you need to take y2-y1 divided by x2-x1. First to the subtraction. Y2 is 3 in this problem and y1 is 0. X2 is 0 and x1 is 5. 3-0 = 3 and 0-5 = -5. Now we have the equation
`-(3)/(5)` as the slope.

Slope-intercept form is y= mx+b so plug in
`-(3)/(5)` to get y =
`-(3)/(5)` x + b

The y-intercept is the coordinate where the x is equal to zero. (0,3) is the coordinate that meets this requirement. The y coordinate is 3 so that is the y-intercept. Plug that in to y =
`-(3)/(5)` x + b to get =
`-(3)/(5)` x + 3.
