Imagine those given points and form the slope. The standard form equation Ax+By=C will have a slope . Your slope is . You can look at your choices and eliminate (a), and (d).

Now test (b) and (c) to find which as a vertical axis intercept of 5. Look like (c) is the answer.
-


---------the choice transformed to slope-intercept form showing slope is and y-intercept 5.
