Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through a pair of points:

(-3, 1), (-2, -5)

a. y = 6x - 17
b. y = -6x - 17
c. y = - 6x + 17
d. y = - 6x + 1/17​

Answer 1

First find slope
(-5-1)/(-2+3) = -6/1 = -6
Y = -6x + b
Plug in any point
1 = -6(-3) + b
1 = 18 + b, b = -17
Solution: y = -6x - 17
The letter answer would be B
