graph a line that has an x-intercept of 5 and y intercept of -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please help, its the only question I'm stuck at.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know the equation of a line is mx + b = y. Since you know the intercepts, you are given the two points (5,0) and (0, -2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use these two points to solve for m, the slope.

Plug in the slope you get into the equation as well as one of the coordinates to solve for b.
