Question

Find an equation of the line containing the given points.(3,-7) (0,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -3x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope of the equation:

(y^2-y^1) / (x^2-x^1)

= (2-(-7)) / (0-3)

= 9 / -3

= -3

Use Point- Slope form to find equation

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 2 = -3 (x - 0)

y - 2 = -3x + 0

y = -3x +2
