Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with an x-intercept of 6 and a y-intercept of 5.
A. y = 6x + 5
B. y = -5/6 x + 5
C. y = -6x + 5
D. y = 5/6 x + 5

Answer 2

I like to break these down.
So slope intercept form is: y = mx + b
And m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
They give us the y intercept, so we can start filling in the equation:
y = mx + 5
So now we substitute in values for x and y to solve for m:
We know the x-intercept is 6, so that's the point (6,0), where x=6 and y=0,
so let's substitute those into our equation so far:
0 = m(6) + 5
-5 = 6m
m = -5/6
So the equation is:
y = (-5/6)x + 5 A.K.A. B. :)
