Find an equation of the line that passes through the pair of points (-5, -9) and (2,-7)

Mathematics

Answer:

y=0.3x - 7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

line: y=ax+b

a= Δy ÷ Δx

a= (-9 + 7) ÷ (-5 - 2)

a= -2 ÷ -7 = approximately 0.3

y=0.3x + b

Now you can fill in one of the points to find b (or both to make sure you got the answer right).

0.3 × 2 + b = -7

0.6 + b = -7

b = -7 - 0.6 = approximately -7.6

So: an equation of the line that passes through this pair of points is y=0.3x - 7.6

On a test, i would write as many decimals as possible if not said not to, to get the most exact answer. Also remember to keep calculating with the number on your calculator and not to round them off for the most exact answer.
