Write the equation of the line with x-intercept 3 and passing through the point (5.4)

y=(1/5)m+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the standard form of an equation of a straight line:  y=mx+b, whre m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

y=mx+b

We know b (3), so:

y=mx + 3

To find the slope, m, we can use the one given point, (5,4):

y=mx + 3 for (5,4) would be:

4 = m*5+3

1 = 5m

m = (1/5)

y=(1/5)m+3
