Question

write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through tge points (0,-1) and (5,6)​

Answer 1

y = 7/5x + -1

Explanation:

First let's find the slope. To do that you find the difference between the given coordinate points. The slope I got was 7/5.

Then plug in the x and y values in the formula y = mx + b

6 = 7/5(5) + b

6 = 7 + b

-1 = b

If the y-intercept (b) is -1 we can complete the equation now.

y = 7/5x + -1

Hope that helps and have a great day!
