Answer:
y = 3x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
to find slope the equation (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) is used
this means change of y over change of x
[-17 - (-2)] / (-3 - 2)
(-17 + 2) / -5
-15 / -5 = 3
the slope is 3
to find slope intercept form you must find the y intercept
using y = 3x + b and plugging things in we can find it
we can plug in the first point
-2 = 2(3) + b
b is your y intercept
-2 = 6 + b
b = -8
Answer:
y = 3/1x - 8
steps:
(2,-2) (-3, -17)
x1. y1. x2. y2
y2-y1
x2-x1
-17 - -2 = -15. = 3
-3-2. -5. 1
(2,-2)
y= mx + b
-2 = 3/1(2) + b
-2 = 6 + b
-6 -6
-8 = b
y = 3/1x - 8
