Question

Which equation describes the line that passes through the points (-4, 19) and (2, -1)

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-5/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope by using y2-y1/x2-x1

-1-19/2-(-4)

simplify

-20/8

simplify

-5/2

use slope-intercept form, y=mx+b

since we know the slope, find b

plug in one of the ordered pairs into the equation

-1=(-5/2)(2)+b

simplify

-1= -10/2+b

simplify

-1=-5+b

add 5 to both sides

b=4

plug b into y=-5/2x+b

y=-5/2x+4

Answer 2

The answer would be.:answer- -5/2+4
