Question

14. The equation of the line that passes through the

points (-2,2) and (3, -3) is
1. x + y = 5
2.x-y=5
3. y - x = 5
4. y = x
5. y = -X

Answer 1

5. y = -x

Explanation:

First, you need to find the slope of the line.

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

Now, using either point substitute into the point-slope form for a line:

`y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1) )`

Using (-2,2) for
`(x_(1) , y_(1) )` we get y - 2 = -1(x +2)

y - 2 = -x - 2

y = -x

Answer 5 is the correct answer
