Question

Write an equation, in the slope intercept form, of the line with an x-intercept at (3 , 0) and a y-intercept at (0 , -5).

Answer 1

Hello : let  A(3,0)    B(0,-5)
the slope is :   (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(-5-0)/(0-3)  = 5/3

 an equation, in the slope intercept form is : y - (-5) = (5/3)(x-0)
y = (5/3)x - 5
