Question

(1,4) and (-2,-11) are on a line. Find the equation of the line.​

Answer 1

y = 5x - 1

Explanation:

First lets use the slope formula to get the slope of the line.

`m =(4-(-11))/(1-(-2))\\\\m = 5`

Now that we know the slope is five, we can use the point slope formula and then we can solve for y.

`y-4 = 5(x-1)\\y = 5x - 1`
