Answer to Problem 34PPS
The equation of line is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Graph of linear equation:
Formula Used: Slope- intercepts form:
Calculation:
In order to find equation of line, we need to get two points.
From the graph, we can see that line crosses at y-axis at 2 units downward from the origin. Therefore, the y-intercept is -2.
Now, if we go 3 units down and 5 units’ right, we get another coordinate (5,-5).
So the slope will be,
Therefore, slope of line is
Now, plug the value of slope(m)=
We get
Therefore, the equation is
