(8,5) and m=5
Y=mX+b This is the line formula where m=the slope & (8,5) are the (X,Y)coordinates of one point.
You need to replace (m) with 5, (Y) with 5 & (X) with 8 & solve for (b) which is the Y intercept.
Y=mX+b
5=5*8+b
5=40+b
b=5-40
b=-35 this is the Y intercept (0,-35).
Y=5X-35
To find the X intercept set y=0 & solve for X.
0=5X-35
5X=35
X=35/5
X=7 this is the X intercept (7,0)
