Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where c = y intercept
Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis
change in the value of y = y2 - y1
Change in value of x = x2 -x1
y2 = final value of y
y 1 = initial value of y
x2 = final value of x
x1 = initial value of x
From the information given,
Slope, m is already given
Slope = -2
The points given are (-3,-5)
From the given points,
x= -3
y= -5
We would determine the intercept,c
y = mx + c
-5 = -2 × -3 + c
-5 - 6 = + c
c = - 11
The equation is
y = - 2x - 11
