SOLUTION: Find an equation of the line that passes through the two given points. Write the equation in slope-intercept form, if possible. passes through (5, 1) and (-5, 0)

Question 926269: Find an equation of the line that passes through the two given points. Write the equation in slope-intercept form, if possible.
passes through (5, 1) and (-5, 0)
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope = m = dy/dx
m = (1 - 0)/(5 - -5)
m = 1/10
---
y - 1 = m(x - 5)
y = mx - 5m + 1
y = (1/10)x - 5(1/10) + 1
y = (1/10)x - (1/2) + (2/2)
---
answer:
y = (1/10)x + 1/2
y = 0.1x + 0.5
