Question

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (2, -1) and (5, -10) in slope-intercept form? O y=-3x-5 O y=-3x+5 O Y= 3x-5 O y = 3x + 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly find the gradient given by the formula

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

so in this case y2 is -10,x2 is 5,y1 is -1 and x1 is 2

m= -10+1/5-2

m= -9/3

= -3

after finding the gradient use the equation

y-y1=m( x-x1)

y+1= -3(x-2)

y+1= -3x+6

y= -3x+6-1

y= -3x+5

I hope this helps
