Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>
<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>
The formula of a slope:
We have the points (5, -5) and (-4, -2).
Substiute:
Put the value of the slope and the coordinates of the point (5, -5) to the equation of a line:
<em>add 5/3 to both sides</em>
Finally we have the equation of a line in the slope-intercept form:
Convert to the standard form <em>(Ax + By = C)</em>:
<em>multiply both sides by 3</em>
<em>add x to both sides</em>
