Question

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (45,-14) and (-36,4). Write your answer in the form

y=mx+b.

Answer 1

y=-2/9x+(-4)

Explanation:

we alr know slope is -2/9 (found with rate of change formula) so we have y=-2/9x+b

solve for b with one of the points (i used (-36,4):

4=(-2/9)(-36)+b

b=-4
