Question

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through (3, -1) and (-1, 5)

y= - 3/2x + 7/2

2 y = -3 x + 7

2 x + 3 y - 7 = 0

Answer 1

A) y=-3/2x+7/2

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(5-(-1))/(-1-3)

m=(5+1)/-4

m=6/-4

simplify

m=-3/2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-1)=-3/2(x-3)

y+1=-3/2(x-3)

y=-3/2x+9/2-1

y=-3/2x+9/2-2/2

y=-3/2x+7/2
