Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the points. (0,1),(−2,−5)

Answer 1

Answer:

y=4/-2

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

$y=3x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

Point A = (0, 1) = (x1, y1)
Point B = (-2, -5) = (x2, y2)

In order to find the answer, we must first find the slope of the two given points by using rise over run.

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
$m=\frac{-5-1}{-2-0}$
$m=\frac{-5-1}{-2-0} =\frac{-6}{-2}$
$=\frac{-6}{-2} =-6\div-2=3$
$m=3$

Now that we know the slope, we can now write the equation in slope intercept form.

$y=mx+b$
$m=3$
$y=1$
$x=0$

Substitute:

$1=3(0)+b$
$3\times0=0$
$1=b$
$b=1$
$y=3x+1$

Hope this helps.
