Question

B) through: (5, 5) and (0, -1)
Slope: m=
y-intercept: b =
Equation: y =

Answer 1

For the slope, we will use the slope formula*.

`m = (-1 - 5)/(0 - 5) = (-6)/(-5)`

The y-intercept is already given. It is 1.

To create the equation of the line, we put what we got for m and b in slope-intercept form**.

`y = -(6)/(5)x + 1`

Formulas:

Slope formula: y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
