Question

Writing a Linear Equation Given Two Points

Write a linear equation for the line that passes through the given points.

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-3x+5

Step-by-step explanation: y=mx+b

to find slope (m) use the equation $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

so

$\frac{-10-(-1)}{5-2}$ = -3

to find b

use y=mx+b

-1=-3(2)+b

-1=-6+b

5=b

Hope this helps :)
