Question

(-2, 7) and (6, -5)Linear equation HELP PLEASE:)

Answer 1

First we need to calculate the slople

P1=(-2,7)=(x1,y1)

P2=(6,-5)=(x2,y2)

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`
`m=(-5-7)/(6+2)=(12)/(8)=(3)/(2)`

Then we can calculate the linear equation

`(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)`
`(y-7)=(3)/(2)(x+2)`
`(y-7)=(3)/(2)x+3`
`y=(3)/(2)x+3+7`
`y=(3)/(2)x+10`

the linear equation is y=3/2 x+10
