Sagot :

Answer:

m=5 and b=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

I checked my work and I got it right on my test. Good luck!

The slope of line (m) is 5 and y-intercept of the line at y= -10

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of a line (m) is the measure of the steepness and the direction of the line .

Formula of slope of line

                   [tex]m = \frac{Change\\\ in\\\ value\\\ of\\\ y }{Change\\\ in\\\ value\\\ of\\\ x} = \frac{(y2-y1) }{(x2-x1)}[/tex]

The coordinates of the first point represent x1 and y1.

The coordinates of the second points are x2, y2.

What is intercepts?

The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis.

What is the equation of line passing through point?

The point form of a line passing through these  points is:

[tex]y - y1 = m (x - x1)[/tex]

where,(x,y) are variables

(x1,y1) are points given

According to question,

A line passes through the points [tex](3,5)[/tex] and [tex](2,0).[/tex]

Where,  Slope of line (m) [tex]=\frac{5-0}{3-2}[/tex]

                                      m  [tex]=5[/tex]

Now, Equation of line passing through the point [tex](3,5)[/tex] is

[tex]y - y1 = m (x - x1)[/tex]

(x1,y1) = (3,5)

substituting the values on equation

[tex](y-5)=5(x-3)[/tex]

y -5 = 5x - 15

y = 5x - 10 --------------------- (1)

Now,  y- intercept is :

where a line crosses the y-axis or  x = 0

At  [tex]x=0[/tex] ,

Substituting value in equation (1)

y = 5*0 - 10

y = -10

So, [tex]y-[/tex]intercept [tex]=-10[/tex]

Hence, The slope of line (m) is 5 and y-intercept of the line at y= -10
