It’s so easy I’m just dumb.
What is the slope of the line graphed below? (5,3) (-5,5)

m = 4/5 (slope)

y = 4/5x - 1 (slope intercept)(y = mx + b)

- 4x + 5y = - 5 (standard form)(Ax + By = C)

y + 5 = 4/5(x + 5) (point slope)(y - y1 = m(x - x1))

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is remember the equation for slope: m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Where your first point is (x1,y1), and your second point is (x2,y2), and m is slope(rate of change : change in y over change in x).

Your first point starts with the smallest x: (-5,-5), then your second point is the greater x: (5,3)

Then just substitute, and solve:

y2-y1/x2-x1 →

3-(-5)/5-(-5) = 3+5/5+5 = 8/10 = 4/5

Extra information:

point slope:

y-y1 = m(x-x1).

Where (x1,y1) is the first point, (x,y) is the second point, and m is the slope. (note: the second point does not have 2 as a subscript so it can be set to slope intercept(y = mx + b) as an equation. This is because you could be given one point, and a slope, and be told to find the other)

Then just plug the coordinates into the equation, and solve for the equation of this line.

Since we already know what the slope is, we can just solve for the general equation given one point:

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y+5 = 4/5(x+5). (point slope)

y + 5 = 4/5x + 4

-5 -5

y = 4/5x - 1

(slope intercept)

Given slope, another way to find the y intercept is to multiply the current x coordinate by the slope, and add it to the current y value.

given a point (5,3), and a slope of 4/5. The line will be y = slope × x + (y2 - (m × x2)),

y = 4/5 × x + (3 - (4/5 × 5))

y = 4/5x + (3 - 4)

y = 4/5x - 1

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

f(x) is the value of the function. b is the value of the function when x equals zero or the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis in the coordinate plane.
