Question

Please Help !!!

The line above goes through points (-5,5) and (0,3). What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line above?


A. y = (-5/2)x - 3

B. y = (-2/5)x + 3

C. y = (-2/5)x - 3

D. y = (2/5)x + 3

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The equation we must find is in y = mx + b form. We are given that it intercepts (0,3), so the y-intercept it 3 and b = 3. We can find the slope with the two points we are given: m = (3-5)/(0(-5)) = -2/5. Substituting these values, we find: y = (-2/5)x + 3
