To answer the question, first figure out the equaton of the line. To do that first find the slope. The formula for the slope of a line is
m=y2−y1x2−x1 where m = slope, y2 = y-coordinate in the second point, y1 = y-coordinate in the first point, x2 = x-coordinate in the second point, and x1 = x-coordintate in the first point.
m=y2−y1x2−x1
m = ?
y2 = 10
y1 = -2
x2 = 5
x1 = 1
m=10−(−2)5−1
m=10+25−1
m=125−1
m=124
m=31
m=3
Now that we know that the slope of the line is 3, put that in the equation for a line. The equation for a line is
y=mx+b where y = y-coordinate, m = slope, x = x-coordinate, and b = y intercept (where line crosses the y axis). Take one of the points and susitute x and y in the equation so we can solve for b.
y=mx+b
y = 10
m = 3
x = 5
b = ?
10=3×5+b
10=15+b
10−15=15+b−15
−5=15+b−15
−5=b−0
−5=b
b=−5
Now fill in what you know leaving y and x as y and x.
y=3x−5
To figure out at which point the line crosses the y-axis, subsitute x for 0 and solve for x.
y=3x−5
y=3×0−5
y=0−5
y=−5
The point that the line crosses the y-axis is at point (0,−5) which means that the answer is neither a, b, c, or d.
