Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with an x-intercept of 6 and a y-intercept of 5.

Answer 1

At the X- Int, y = 0: (6, 0).

At the Y - Int, X = 0: (0, 5).

m = (5 - 0) / (0 - 6) = 5 / -6 = -5/6.

Y = mx + b,

Y = (-5/6)6 + b = 0,
-5 + b = 0,
b = 5.

Eq: Y = (-5/6)x + 5.
