Since we don't have the slope or the y-intercept, we must find them.
step 1: find the slope.
we have two coordinates: (5, 4) and (-5, 0).Use the slope formula:
*m = -4/-10 = 2/5.
--
step 2: find the y-intercept, b.
put in your slope information and pick a point. I will choose (-5,0).
** b = 2
--
Put m and b back into y = mx + b to get
