(-3, 5) and (-2, -6)

Answer 1

Answer:

11x+y = -28

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points so we can find the slope

m = (y2-y2)/(x2-x1)

   = (-6-5)/ (-2--3)

   = -11(-2+3)

   = -11/1

The slope is -11

We can use point slope to make an equation

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

y-5 = -11(x--3)

y -5 = -11(x+3)

Distribute

y-5 = -11x-33

Add 5 to each side

y-5+5 = -11x-33+5

y = -11x-28

Add 11x to each side

11x+y = -11x+11x-28

11x+y = -28

This is the standard form of a line
