Question

Identify the point and slope used to creating the equation then draw the graph of the equation

Answer 1

To find the answers, we have to solve for y.

`\begin{gathered} y-3=-(5)/(2)(x+1) \\ y-3=-(5)/(2)x-(5)/(2) \\ y=-(5)/(2)x-(5)/(2)+3 \\ y=-(5)/(2)x+(-5+6)/(2) \\ y=-(5)/(2)x+(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

The slope is the coefficient of x, and the y-intercept point is the independent term.

Hence, the slope is -5/2, and the y-intercept is (0, 1/2).
