ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

equation of line in slope intercept form : \[y = mx+b\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

where \(m\) = slope \(b\) = y intercept

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're given slope already : \(m = -1.25\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

all you need is to find the y intercept \(b\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

not quite

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[y = -1.25x+b\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

plugin the given point and find the value of \(b\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the line passes through point (5, -3) so this point has to satisfy the equation of line : \[-3 = -1.25(5) + b\] solve \(b\)

?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks good!
