Question

Find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (2,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

(

$(2,-5)=(x_1,y_1) \\ (4,-11)= (x_2,y_2)$

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Plug in values into the given equation

$m = \frac{ - 11 - ( - 5))}{4 - 2} \\ \\ m = \frac{ - 11 + 5}{2}$

Simplify

$m = \frac{ - 6}{2} \\ m = - 3$
