(-2,0) (0,5)

the equation is given:

Slope:
$$\huge\color{red}{\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}}$$
$$\huge\color{red}{\frac{0-5}{-2-0}}$$

$$\huge\color{blue}{\frac{-5 }{ -2}~~~~->~~~~~\frac {5 }{ 2}}$$SLOPE

anonymous · Answer

D.	y = (5/2)x + 5

solomonzelman · Answer

Wrong!

solomonzelman · Answer

y=5/2 x + b

since you know it goes through (0,-5)
you see (0,-5) is the y-intercept, right?

y=5/2 x -5

anonymous · Answer

Its (0,5)
