Question

Could Somebody Help Me With My Geometry

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is     y = -5/4x + 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (5, -4)

B (-3, 6)

Formula

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

x1 = 5      y1 = -4

x2 = -3    y2 = 6

-Substitution

          m = (6 + 4) / (-3 - 5)

-Simplification

          m = 10/-8

          m = -5/4

-Find the equation of the line

        y - y1 = m(x - x1)

-Substitution

        y + 4 = -5/4(x - 5)

-Simplification

        y + 4 = -5/4x + 25/4

-Solve for y

        y = -5/4x + 25/4 - 4

        y = -5/4x + 9/4

Answer 2

Answer:

y = -5/4x + 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient -

$= \frac{y - y1}{x - x1} \\ = \frac{ - 4 - 6}{5 + 3} \\ = \frac{ - 5}{4}$

equation of the line -

$(y - y1) = m(x - x1) \\ (y + 4) = \frac{ - 5}{4} (x - 5) \\ (y + 4) = \frac{ - 5}{4} x - 6.2 \\ y = \frac{ - 5}{4} x + 2.25$
