Question

Calculate the equation of the line through the points (-1, 1), (4, 0), and (24, -4). y=−5x+4 y=15x+45 y=5x+6 y=−15x+45

Answer 1

Answer:
`y=-(1)/(5)x+(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

Considering the points
`(-1,-1)` and
`(4,0)`, the slope is
`(1-0)/(-1-4)=-(1)/(5)`.

So, the equation is:

`y=-(1)/(5)(x-4)\\\\y=-(1)/(5)x+(4)/(5)`
