<PRE><B>Question 625060</B>
Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the lne shown in the graph. Please show work.   (5,1) (-5,-5)

Solution:

Slope =  (-5-1)/(-5-5) = -6/-10 = 3/5

So equation is:  y =(3/5)x+b  (we have to find b now)

Since (5,1) is in the line:

1=(3/5)(5)+b

1 = 3+b

b = -2

Answer: y = (3/5) x -2
