Question

Line p has an x-intercept of 5 and a y-intercept of 3. Find the slope of line p

Answer 1

`-(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

The point for the x intercept can be graphed as (5,0)

The point for the y intercept can be graphed as (0,3)

So now we can use the slope formula
`(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

We just fill in the points and then simplify

`(0-3)/(5-0) \\(-3)/(5) \\-(3)/(5)`

Hope this helps please lmk if you have any questions
