Answer:
y-intercept of the line MN = 2
Standard form of the equation ⇒ x + y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of the ends of a line MN → M(-3, 5) and N(2, 0)
Slope of a line =
=
= -1
Equation of the line MN passing through (-3, 5) and slope = -1,
y - 5 = (-1)(x + 3)
y - 5 = -x - 3
y = -x + 2
This equation is in the y-intercept form,
y = mx + b
where m = slope of the line
b = y-intercept
Therefore, y-intercept of the line MN = 2
Equation in the standard form,
x + y = 2
