Answer: y = [tex]\frac{5}{3}x +5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
This is how you find the slope: [tex]slope=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}[/tex]
Find two coordinate points. Let's use (-3,0) and (0,5). Based on this, we know that y1 is 0, y2 is 5, x1 is -3, and x2 is 0. Plug these into the formula:
[tex]\frac{0-5}{-3+0} =\frac{-5}{-3} =\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
So, the slope is [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
The y intercept is where the line hits the y graph. We can see that the y intercept is 5 (or (0,5))
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b, m = slope, b = y intercept
Plug everything in:
y = [tex]\frac{5}{3}x +5[/tex]
