Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given points.
through : (2, 5) and (4, - 1)​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of this line passing through (2,5) and (4,1) is;

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x = $\frac{-1 - 5}{4 - 2}$ = -3

Taking another point (x,y) on the line, slope = $\frac{y - 5}{x - 2}$ = -3

y - 5 = -3x + 6

y = -3x + 11
