Question

What is the equation of the line passing through the points

-
--!
-
(3-38) and (5-12)
in slope intercept form?

Answer 1

y = 13x - 77

Explanation:

Slope (m) = (- 12 - - 38)/(5 - 3) = (- 12+38)/(2)

= 26/2 = 13

y - y = m(x-x)

m = 13, point: (5, -12)

y - - 12 = 13(x - 5)

y + 12 = 13x - 65

y = 13x - 65 - 12

y = 13x - 77
