Question

Write an equation in standard form for the line that passes through the given points. (-2, -3), (4, -7)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -2/3x - 13/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

find slope

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(-7+3)/(4+2)

-4/6 = -2/3 = m

y-int = b = m * |x1| + y1

-2/3 * |-2| + (-3)

-4/3 - 3 = -13/3

y=-2/3x - 13/3
