Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope formula is 
. When knowing the slope of a line and a point it intersects, we can write its equation with that formula. Substitute 
, 
, and 
for real values.
1) First, find , or the slope. Use the slope formula 
and substitute the x and y values of the given points. Then, solve:
Therefore, the slope of the line is -10.
2) Now, substitute the needed real values into the point-slope formula, . Since represents the slope, substitute -10 in its place. Since and represent the x and y values of a point the line crosses, choose any of the points given and substitute its values into the formula. (Either one is fine, they both equal the same thing. I chose (2,3).) This will give the following answer and equation:
15. If a+b=6 and ab=9 that means a and b must each equal 3. Then plug it into the equation and solve. (3)3+(3)2 = 15
