Question

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the given points. (5,-1) and (-5,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=-\frac{3}{10} x+\frac{1}{2}$ or $-\frac{3}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

first use the y2-y1/x2-x1 formula then use y=mx+b after

plug in 2 for y2 and -1 for y1

plug in -5 for x2 and 5 for x1

$\frac{2-(-1)}{-5-5}$=

2+1=3

-5-5=-10

$-\frac{3}{10}$ is ur slope

_____________________

this is the y=mx+b formula *extra info ig*

i usually use the first point for this but u can use watever point u want

plug in 5 for x

plug in -1 for y

and plug -3/10 for m

-1=-3/10(5)+b

-3/10*5=-3/2

-1=-3/2+b

add -3/2 on both sides

-1+3/2=1/2

1/2=b and b is ur y-intercept

y=-3/10x+1/2

hope this helps
