Question

Find an equation of the line satisfying the conditions below. Describe your work.

x-intercept = 5, and y-intercept = -2

Find the slope-intercept form of the line.

Hint: These intercepts give you 2 points; a good way to start is to find the slope using these 2 points

Answer 1

y=mx+b
b=y intercept
m=slope

Answer 2

@pooja195 y=5+-2 im not sure what goes for y and how to find the slope?

Answer 3

We need to graph it and get the slope using rise/run

Answer 4

so I just have to graph y=5+-2?

Answer 5

No graph the intercepts

Answer 6

so just graph (5, -2)?

Answer 7

Not try finding the slope :)

Answer 8

Isn't it rising up 1over 1

Answer 9

Start by rising up from the y axis....

Answer 10

the y axis is rising straight up? going up 1

Answer 11

@triciaal can you please help?

Answer 12

x / 5 + y / -2 = 1 is this the equation ?

Answer 13

No :/

Answer 14

WAIT i got this! >:)

Answer 15

do you still need my input?

Answer 16

Can you tell me if im doing this right or not?

Answer 17

well give me a few minutes need to start at the top

Answer 18

@KJ4UTS is this timed ?

Answer 19

x-intercept = 5, and y-intercept = -2

points (5, 0) and (0, -2)

Answer 20

slope m = change in y / change in x = y2 - y1/(x2- x1) for points (x1, y1 and (x2, y2)

Answer 21

slope is the same for any 2 points on the line
using this slope and one of the given points with any point (x, y)
equation of the line in slope intercept form y = m x + b
b is the y-intercept the value of y when x = 0

Answer 22

what is the value for the slope?

Answer 23

2/5?
