Write an equation that passes through points (0,5) and (-1.5,0)

Given 2 points on a line, the easiest equation to use is the point-slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is one of the points known. Slope is calculated by (change in y)/(change in x), so in this case it would be -4/-1.5 or 8/3. If we take (0,5) as the point, that makes the equation y-5=8x/3 or, to convert to standard format: y-5=8x/3 -> 3y-15=8x -> 8x-3y=-15

Step-by-step explanation:

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
