Answer:
y = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
calculate m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2-y_{1} } }{x_{2-x_{1} } }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4) ← 2 points on the line
m = [tex]\frac{4-5}{3-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1}{3}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 5 ) ⇒ c = 5
y = - [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x + 5 ← equation of line
