Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-2, 2) and (1,-4)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Equation \ of \ the \ line => (y -y_{2}) =m(x -x_{2} )$

$slope, m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } =\frac{-4-2}{1--2} = \frac{-6}{3} = -2$

Equation the line passing through (-2, 2) and ( 1, -4)

$(y -- 4) = -2(x -1)\\\\(y +4) = -2x + 2\\\\y = -2x +2 -4 \\\\y = -2x -2$
