Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-2, 5) and (-4, -5)

Answer 1

Answer: 5x + 15 = y

Explanation:

mx+b = y

find rise over run

(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = m

(-5-5)/(-4+2)

simplify

-10/-2

10/2

5 = m

plug in a point and find b

5(-2) + b = 5

-10 + b = 5

b = 15

5x + 15 = y
