Here is your answer and an explanation
Answer: y = -2/3x
Explanation:
This can be determined by calculating the gradient of the straight line, using:
m=ΔyΔx
=−6−34−(−2)
=−96
=−32
Then we use the slope-point form of the straight line:
y−y1=m(x−x1)
to give:
y−3=−32(x−(−2))
∴y−3=−32(x+2)
∴y−3=−32x−3
∴y=−32x
Slope formula = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1
SF = 3 - (-3)/ 2 - 5
SF = 6/ -3
Slope = -2
Now we need to find b (the y-intercept)
y = mx + b
y = -2x + b
3 = -2(2) + b
3 = -4 + b
+4 +4
7 = b
The equation of the line should be:
y = -2x + 7
