Answer 1

Equation: (y + 2) = -5(x - 1)

Slope: -5

Point: (1, -2)

Explanation:

The image is blurry, but I'll give this a try.

Point-slope form: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Find slope, m, using these 2 points: (0, 3) and (1, -2)

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

Plug (1, -2) into the point-slope form:

(y - - 2) = -5(x - 1)

(y + 2) = -5(x - 1)
