Question

What is the slope intercept form of a line that passes through (-1,-5) and (4,-2)

Answer 1

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{(-5)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{(-1)}}}\implies \cfrac{-2+5}{4+1}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}$
