Do you mean X is A.
BTW did you get the question from Khan Academy.
Y = -7x - 2
Use the two points given to find the slope (m)
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = ( 12-5 ) / (-2 - (-1))
m = -7
Now we have y = -7x + b where 'b' is our y-intercept. We can solve for 'b' by choosing one of the (x,y) coordinate points and plugging them in.
Let's choose the point (-1,5). Plug -1 in for 'x' and 5 in for 'y' and solve for 'b'.
y = -7x + b
5 = -7(-1) + b
b = -2
Final eqn: y = -7x - 2
Answer:
y = (-4/5)x + 12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = (4-0)/(-2-3) = 4/-5 = -4/5
y = (-4/5)x + c
When x = 3, y = 0
0 = (-4/5)(3) + c
c = 12/5
y = (-4/5)x + 12/5
5y = -x + 12
5y + x = 12
