y - 2=

Answer 1

Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (-1, -10) and (5, 2)

Use exact numbers.

Y - 2 =

Answer 2

y-2 = 2(x-5)

Explanation:

We have two points, we use

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to get the slope

m = (2--10)/(5--1)

= (2+10)/(5+1)

=12/6

=2

We will write the equation in point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Given that it starts with y-2. we will use the point (5,2)

y-2 = 2(x-5)
