Question

A line passes through the points (0,5) and (3,6). What is its equation in slope-intercept
form?
Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1/3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (change in y)(change in x)

Slope = (6 - 5)/(3 - 0)

Slope =  1/3

Substitute m = 1/3 and one given ordered pair  into y = mx + b. using (3, 6)

y = mx+ b

6 = 1/3(3) + b

6 = 1 + b

5 = b

the equation is y = 1/3x + 5
