Answer:
y = x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
To calculate m use the slope formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 22, - 14) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 18, - 12)
m = =
=
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
using (- 22, - 14), then
- 14 = - 11 + c ⇒ c = - 14 + 11 = - 3
y = x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form
