Question

Thanks so much! I appreciate the help!

Answer 1

y = -7x + 2

Explanation:

For such questions, mark any two points and find their coordinates.

In this case we consider (0,2) and (1,-5).

now we got our two points, the general equation of a line is given as :

y = mx+c;

here m is the slope which is given as :

`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

m = (-5-2)/(1-0) = -7

y = -7x +c ;

now we need to find c , so we subsitute the point (0,2) in it

2 = 0 +c , hence c is 2

this results in the equation of line as y = -7x +2 .
