Question

write the equation of the line MN, which is formed by the points M(-3,5) and N(2,0). identify the slope. M=

Answer 1

Answer:

Identify the slope. m = -1

Write the equation in point-slope form: y - 5 = -1 (x+3)

Simplify the equation and isolate the y variable. y = -x + 2

What is tbe y- intercept of line MN? (0, 2)

What is the equation of MN written in standard form? x + y = 2

heres what I got :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to your question is slope = -1;  y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

M (-3, 5)

N (2, 0)

Process

1.- Calculate the slope of the line

    slope = m (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

   x1 = -3   y1 = 5   x2 = 2   y2= 0

-Substitution

                 m = (0 - 5) / (2 + 3)

-Simplification

                 m = -5/5

-Result

                 m = -1

2.- Find the equation of the line

        y - y1 = m(x - x1)

-Substitution

        y - 5 = -1(x + 3)

-Simplification

        y - 5 = -x - 3

-Solve for y

        y = -x - 3 + 5

-Result

        y = -x + 2
