Question

A straight line passes through the point (0,5) and point (3,-4) what is the equation of the line

Answer 1

y = -3x - 5

Explanation:

Points: (0,5) (3,-4)

We see the y decrease by 9 and the x increase by 3, so the slope is

m = -9/3 = -3

Point slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 5 = -3(x - 0)

y - 5 = -3x

y = -3x - 5

So, th equation of the line is y = -3x - 5
