Question 174995: How do I find the equation of the line that has points of (1,5) and (0,0)?
Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
find the slope = 0-5/0-1=5......so m=slope=5
:
now use the point slope formula to arrive at equation....plug in any point you desire using y-k=m(x-h) where (h,k) is any point on the line....I will use (0,0)since that is the easiest
:
y-0=5(x-0)
