Remark

Right away when the x value of one of the points = 0 then you have the y intercept.

-1 = 0*m + b

b = - 1

So far what you have is y = mx - 1. Now use the two points to get the slope (m)

x1 = 0

x2 = -1

y1 = -1

y2 = - 3

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (-3 - - 1) / (-1 - 0)

m = -2/-1 = 2

The answer to the equation is

y = 2x - 1

Note

The best way to check this is with a graph. The two given points are marked on the graph. The upper one is (0 , -1). The lower one is (-1 , -3). The slope must be correct.

Identify the vertical asymptotes of f(x) = 2 over quantity x squared plus 3 x minus 10.
zysi [14]
The function is:
f ( x ) = 2 / ( x² + 3 x - 10 )
x² + 3 x - 10 = x² + 5 x - 2 x - 10 = x ( x + 5 ) - 2 ( x + 5 ) =
= ( x + 5 ) ( x - 2 )
x + 5 = 0 => x = - 5
x - 2 = 0 => x = 2
Answer:
The vertical asymptotes are: x = - 5 and x = 2.
