Question

Write and equation for the line. use slope-intercept form, if possible. Through (5, 5), m=-2/9. Now i know the slope intercept formula is y=mx+b, and i also know that my slope is -2/9. now i am lost, i think

Answer 1

y=-2/9x+b

Answer 2

5=-2/9(5) +b

Answer 3

use the point (5,5) as your x,y values in the slope-intercept equation

Answer 4

b=45/9+10/9 =55/9

Answer 5

y=-2/9 x +55/9

Answer 6

also you can use point-slope form
\[y-y1 = m(x-x1)\]
\[y-5 = -(2/9)(x-5)\]
