Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,-5) and (-1,1

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 6x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Find slope:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

   = (1 - (-5)) / (-1 - (-2))

   = 6 / 1

   = 6

Find y-intercept using m from above and anyone of the given points, let's use (-2, -5):

y = mx + b

-5 = 6(-2) + b

-5 = -12 + b

b = 7

Now use m and b from above to make equation of line:

y = mx + b

y = 6x + 7

Answer 2

Y=6x+7 trust me I have did this before that is the answer for sure
