anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

no. this is what it says: The x-intercept of a line is –5 and the y-intercept of the line is –2. What is the equation of the line. how do i figure this out? I'm trying to redo my test for more credit since i failed this one!!

anonymous · Answer

whats the slope

anonymous · Answer

doesn't say anything. That's all it says. THAT"S why I'm so confused!!

anonymous · Answer

oh wait. it DOES have answers. sorry. Here they are, but i have to show work:
1.) y=-5/2x-5
2.)y=2/5x+2
3.) y=5/2x-2
4.) y=-2/5x-2

anonymous · Answer

well what you do is y-y,=m(x-x,)
so you would get y+2=2/5 (x+5)
Then you would get y+2=2/5x+2
After that you would subtract 2 from both sides 
Your answers should be y=2/5x
