Question

A line goes through the points (4,5) and (2,-6). Write the equation of the line in point slope form

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5.5x - 17

Explanation:

we need to things to do this, the slope and the equation of a line

slope = change in y/ change in x

change in y = (-6 - 5) = -11

change in x = (2 - 4) = -2

-11/-2 = 5.5

y = 5.5x + b

plug in a point

-6 = 5.5(2) + b

b = -17

y = 5.5x - 17
