Determine the slope and y-intercept for the line that passes through the points (5, 5) and (−5, 1). Show your work.


I found the slope its 2/5, but i don't know how to find the y-intercept. Can someone explain how to find the y-intercept please?
Answered by CodyJinks
You would graph the line with the found slope and plot it through the points and see where it crosses the axis.

Better yet use a point ex) 5=(2/5)5 + b
Following the form of y=mx+b
Answered by Ace
Would the y-intercept be 3?
Answered by Reiny
since the y-intercept is the value of b when the equation is in the form
y = mx + b

from CodyJinks' line
5=(2/5)5 + b , all we need to do is find b
5 = 2 + b
b = 3

this really did not help me sorry but are you trying to say the answer is 3
