Question

(3,-14) and (-2,6) are on a line. Find the equation of the line.​

Answer 1

y = -4x-2

Explanation:

First we need to find the slope of the line

We can use the slope formula to do that

`m=(y_(2)-y_(1)  )/(x_(2)-x_(1) ) \\m = (6-(-14))/(-2- 3)\\ m=-4`

Now that we have the slope we can plug in the values into the point slope formula.

`y-6=-4(x-(-2))\\y = -4x-2`
