Question

What is the equation for a line with slope of 0.75 and y intercept of -5?

Answer 1

`y= 0.75x - 5`

Explanation:

Here given that slope `(m) = 0.75`
and `y`-intercept of `-5` means that the line passes through the `y`-axis at `y=-5`.

The `x`-coordinate at `y`-axis is zero

So `(x1,y1) = (0,-5)` is the point the line passes through

Equation of the line is given by;

`(y-y1)=m(x-x1)`

`(y+5) =0.75(x-0)`

`y+5 = 0.75x`

So,
`y= 0.75x - 5` is the equation of the line.
