Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-3, 4) and (3, -2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

p1 (-3,4)

p2 ( 3, -2)

line equation y = mx + b

The slope m equals

$\frac{y2 - 21}{x2 - x1}$

$\frac{ - 2 - 4}{3 - - 3} = \frac{ - 6}{6} = - 1$

y = - x + b

from any point

-2 = -3 + b

b = 1

line equation = y = -x +1

Answer 2

Just plugging the points into the equations, both fit y=-x+1

Hope this helps
