Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line containing the points (-2,5) and (9,-6)

Answer 1

(-2,5)(9,-6)
slope(m) = (-6-5) / (9 - (-2) = -11/11 = -1

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(-2,5)...x = -2 and y = 5
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
5 = -1(-2) + b
5 = 2 + b
5 - 2 = b
3 = b

so ur equation in slope intercept form is : y = -x + 3
