Find the equation of the line through (0,3) and (5,0).
**
Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
For given problem:
slope,m=∆y/∆x=(0-3)/(5-0)=-3/5
equation: y=-3x/5+b
solve for b using coordinates of one of the given points (0,3)
3=0+b
b=3
equation of line: y=-3x/5+3
