write an equation for (-5) and y-intercept (0,5)
try web math . com
Is -5 supposed to be the slope ?
If so, the y-intercept (value of y when x = 0) is 5 and the equation is
y = -5x + 5
To write the equation of a line given the slope and y-intercept, you can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is given by:
y = mx + b
Where:
- "y" and "x" represent the coordinates of any point on the line.
- "m" represents the slope of the line.
- "b" represents the y-intercept.
In this case, you are given the y-intercept as (0, 5) and the point (-5, ?) on the line.
To find the slope, we can use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the coordinates of the two points:
- (0, 5) for (x1, y1) (y-intercept)
- (-5, ?) for (x2, y2)
We can substitute the coordinates into the slope formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (? - 5) / (-5 - 0)
m = (? - 5) / -5
Since the slope is not given, you need to provide the missing value of the y-coordinate of the point (-5, ?) to calculate the slope.
Please provide the value of the missing y-coordinate to continue.
