Question

Write an equation that passes through (-3, 5) and (0, 2)

Answer 1

y = -x + 2

Explanation:

I assume you need the equation of a line.

Equation of a line in two-point form:

y - y_1 = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) × (x - x_1)

Let (0, 2) be point 1 with x_1 = 0 and y_1 = 2.

Let (-3, 5) be point 2 with x_2 = -3 and y_2 = 5.

Plug in all x and y values into the equation.

y - 2 = (5 - 2)/(-3 - 0) × (x - 0)

y - 2 = 3/(-3) × x

y - 2 = -x

y = -x + 2
