Question 996698: Goes through intercepts (5, 0) and (0-3) how to graph that?
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x1,y1) = (5,0)
(x2,y2) = 0,-3)

slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (-3-0) / 0-5) = -3/-5 = 3/5

y-intercept is equal to -3.

the coordinate point of the y-intercept is taken from (0,-3) which tells you the value of y when the value of x is equal to 0.

slope intercept form of the equation of a straight line is equal to y = mx + b.

m is the slope
b is the y intercept.

this becomes y = 3/5 * x - 3.

that's the equation you want to graph.

it looks like this:
