Question

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (-2,3) and (1, -3). Write the equation in slope-intercept form. A) y = -2x + 3 B) y = 2x + 7 C) y = 2x - 5 D) y = -2x - 1

Answer 1

The coordinates are given (-2,3) and (1, -3).

The equation formed from the coordinates is

`y-3=(-3-3)/(1+2)(x+2)`
`y-3=(-6)/(3)(x+2)`
`y=-2x-4+3`
`y=-2x-1`

Hence the correct option is D .
