What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 2/5 and passes through the
point (-5,5)? *

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = 2/5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute 2/5 in for m and (-5,5) in for (x,y) respectively to find the y intercept

y=mx+b

5 = 2/5(-5) + b

5 = -2 + b

add 2 to both sides to solve for b (y intercept)

b = 7

therefore the equation for the line will be...

y = 2/5x + 7
