Question

Find The equation
of line
passing through (0,-3) and (5.0).​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation of the line will be in the form:

y = mx+ c

where m is the slope (gradient) and

c is the y-intercept.

To find the slope, we use:

m =(y2−y1)/(x2−x1)

It doesn't matter which point we decide is

(x1,y1) and which we choose as (x2,y2), since the formula will work either way.

m= (0+3)/(5-0) = 3/5

Now we can use the slope and the coordinates of one point - either will do - to find the y-intercept:

y=mx+c

0=3/5×(5) + c

=> c= 0- 3 =3

Over all, then, the equation of the line is:

y= (3/5)x + 3
