what is the standard form equation of a linrle whose line has a y intercept of 5.5 and an x intercept of -10?

Respuesta :

y= -10x + 5.5 ....... I might be wrong, sorry

Answer:

y = 0.55x + 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with y = mx + b.  We already know that b = 5.5, so now we have:

y = mx + 5.5.  Next, subst. -10 for x and 0 for y, obtaining 0 = m(-10) + 5.5.  Then 10 m = 5.5, and m = 5.5/10, or 0.55.  

Thus, the equation is y = 0.55x + 5.5.
