Answer:
The answer to your question is a) y - 2 = -5(x - 3)
b) y = -5x + 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
A (1, 12)
B (3, 2)
Process
1.- Find the slope
Formula
Substitution
2.- Find the equation in point slope form
Equation
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substitution and equation
y - 2 = -5(x - 3)
3.- Find the slope-intercept form
Expand the point slope form
y - 2 = -5x + 15
Simplify
y = -5x + 15 + 2
Equation
y = -5x + 17
