Question

Write the equation of the line MN, which is formed by the

points M(-3, 5) and N(2, 0).
Step 1: Identify the slope. m = [
v
What is the y-intercept of line MN?
What is the equation of MN written in standard form?

Answer 1

m = (5 - 0)/(-3 - 2) = 5/-5 = -1

y = -1(x - 2)

y = -x + 2, so m = -1 and b = 2.

x + y = 2
