Question

What is the equation for a line that passes through the points (5,-3) and (-10,12)?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope.

12 - (-3) / -10 - 5

15/-5

-1

The slope is -1.

Our equation will be y = -1x + b

Insert on the x,y corrdinates given.

12=-1(-10) + b

12=10 + b

2 = b

Now that we know b,

the equation is

y = -x + 2

Answer 2

Answer: y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When x=0, y = 2

When y=0, x = 2
