Answer:

y =-2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello : let A(2,3) B(1,5)

the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)

(5-3)/(1-2) = 2/-1 =-2

an equation is : y=ax+b a is a slope

y = -2x +b

the line through point (2,3) : 3 = (-2)(2)+b

b = 7

the equation is : y =-2x+7

Perform the indicated operation and simply the result.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

I am assuming that the whole 3x - 6 in the fraction is the numerator

the this simplifies to 3x (3x - 6)

= 9x^2 - 18x (C)
