in the figure above, what is the equation of the line that passes the y-axis at (0,5) and passes the x-axis at (5,0)?
A
y = x + 5
B
y = -x + 5
C
y = x - 5
D
y = -x - 5
correct option: b

(x1, y1) = (0,5)

(x2, y2) = (5, 0)

Using (\frac{y - y_1}{y_1 - y_1} = \frac{x - x_1}{x_1 - x_1})

(\frac{y - 5}{0 - 5} = \frac{x - 0}{5 - 0})

(\frac{y - 5}{-5} = \frac{x}{5})

5(y - 5) = -5x

y - 5 = -x

x + y = 5

y = -x + 5
