What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

Line on a coordinate plane. The line runs through points begin ordered pair negative 5 comma 0 end ordered pair and begin ordered pair 0 comma 3 end ordered pair.

Enter your answer in the boxes.

y =
x +

y =   x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope you need to take y2-y1 divided by x2-x1. First to the subtraction. Y2 is 3 in this problem and y1 is 0. X2 is 0 and x1 is 5. 3-0 = 3 and 0-5 = -5. Now we have the equation as the slope.

Slope-intercept form is y= mx+b so plug in    to get y =   x + b

The y-intercept is the coordinate where the x is equal to zero. (0,3) is the coordinate that meets this requirement. The y coordinate is 3 so that is the y-intercept. Plug that in to y =   x + b to get =   x + 3.

The other person was parcially correct, but here is the right

answer: the resulting cross section is a rectangle. solution: a plane parallel to the base of a triangular prism will intersect a cross section that is the same shape as its bases. so the cross section is a triangle.
