Question

6.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope (rise over run):

$(\frac{5-1}{-2-2}) = \frac{4}{-4} = -1$

Since the slope is -1, use one of the given coordinates to write an equation in point-slope form:

y - 5 = -1(x + 2)

or optionally in slope-intercept form:

y = -x + 3

Answer 2

Answer:

equation : y = -x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

• coordinates given: (-2,5) and (2, 1)

slope = ( y2-y1 ) / ( x2-x1 )

         = ( 1 - 5 ) / ( 2 --2)

         = -4 / 4

         = -1

Now find equation using: y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

                                         : y - 1 = -1 ( x - 2 )

                                         : y = -x +2 +1

                                         : y = -x + 3
