Answer:
The equation of the line is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points
- (-2, -5)
- (1, 1)
Finding the slope between the points
We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation
where m is the slope and b is the slope-intercept form
substituting the value m=2 and the point (-2, -5) to find the b-intercept
-5 = 2(-2) + b
b = -5+4
b = -1
Now, substituting m=2 and b=-1 in the slope-intercept form to get the equation of a line
y=mx+b
y=2x+(-1)
y=2x-1
Thus, the equation of the line is:
