Question

Write an equation of the line through (-2,5) and (-4,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use slope intercept formula of y=mx+b

M= slope

B= y intercept

To find slope we use y2-y1/x2-x1 using the given coordinates

7-5/-4-(-2)

2/-4+2

2/-2

-1

We can put this into the equation

y=-1x+b

y= -x+b

Now fill in coordinates to find b

7=-(-4)+b

7=4+b

-4 -4

3=b

The y intercept is 3 and we can put that into the equation

y= -x+3
