Question

Determine the equation

Answer 1

`y=(3)/(4) x-(5)/(4)`

Explanation:

two points on the line are

(-1, -2)

(-5, -5)

The slope:

`m=(-2-(-5))/(-1-(-5)) =(-2+5)/(-1+5) =(3)/(4)`

The equation:

with (-1,-2)

`y-(-2)=(3)/(4) (x-(-1))`

`y+2=(3)/(4) x+(3)/(4)`

`y=(3)/(4) x+(3)/(4) -(8)/(4)`

`y=(3)/(4) x-(5)/(4)`

Hope this helps
