This problem involves the equation of a line. The formula is y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "y = any value for y
\n" ); document.write( "m = the slope of the line
\n" ); document.write( "x = any matching value for x
\n" ); document.write( "b = the point where the line crosses the y-axis (the y-intercept)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Given that: (x, y)=(0,5) and m = - 3/5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, plugging in the values:
\n" ); document.write( "y=5
\n" ); document.write( "m=-3/5
\n" ); document.write( "x=0
\n" ); document.write( "b=(solve for b)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "5=(-3/5)(0)+ b
\n" ); document.write( "5=b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Plug the value of the slope and the y-intercept(b) back into the formula:
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: y=-3/5x+5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
