Question

Find the slope-intercept form for the line satisfying the following conditions. x-intercept 3, y-intercept 2/5 .

Answer 1

slope intercept form is y=mx + b, correct?
you know from the givens that (3,0) and (0, 2/5) are points on the graph.
find the slope using these points: (0-2/5)/(3-0) m=(-2/5)/3= 2/15
so now you now your slope (m=2/15) and they *gave* you the y-int (0, 2/5) so you just plug it in

y=mx+b y=(2/15)x + (2/5)
