Answer:
y = -1/3x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Use rise over run to find the slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plug in the points:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-7 + 3) / (6 + 6)
-4 / 12
= -1/3
Plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:
y = mx + b
-3 = -1/3(-6) + b
-3 = 2 + b
-5 = b
Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b
y = -1/3x - 5 is the equation of the line
#3 - [D = (6 - 2)^2 + (4 - 1)^2] [] >> D= [Square root of} 16+9
So the awnser to #3 is - 5
