x intercept 2, y intercept 2/5

Question

The slope intercept form of the line is ????

Answer 1

Hi Matt,

 

The slope intercept form is y = mx + b. b is the y intercept.

points it passes through are (2,0) and (0, 2/5). We can use one of these points to find m.

 

0 = 2m + 2/5

2m = -2/5

m = -1/5

y = -1x/5 + 2/5
