using the point-slope formula, what is the equation of the line that passes through the points (1, 5) and (0, 0)? a. y = x b. y = 5x c. y = 5x 10 d. y = 5x – 1
First we find the slope m as follows: \(m=\frac{y-y_{1}}{x-x_{1}}=\frac{5-0}{1-0}=5\) So the equation is of the form: y = 5x + b When x = 1, y = 5. Therefore b = 0. So the equation is: y = 5x
