Question

Use the slope formula to determine the slope of the line that passes through (10,−2) and (3, 5).

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

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

using (10,-2) and (3,5)

m = (5 - -2)/(3 - 10) = 7/-7 = -1

y = -1x + b

using (3,5)

5 = -1(3) + b

5 = -3 + b

b = 8

y = -x + 8
