In a group of hats consisting of only blue hats, green hats, and purple hats, the ratio of blue hats to green hats to purple hat

Answer:

The y-intercept for line MN is 2

The standard form of the equation is revealed as ⇒ x + y = 2

Step-by-step elucidation:

Coordinates marking the ends of line MN → M(-3, 5) and N(2, 0)

The slope of the line was computed as

                        =

                        = -1

For line MN which passes through (-3, 5) with a slope of -1, the equation formulated is given by

y - 5 = (-1)(x + 3)

This simplifies to

y - 5 = -x - 3

Thus resulting in

y = -x + 2

Here the equation appears in the y-intercept form of

y = mx + b

where m represents the slope of the line and b denotes the y-intercept

So, consequently, the y-intercept for line MN is 2

The equation generates in the standard form as

x + y = 2
