Question

(-2,1),(2,-5) slope intercept form

Answer 1

y = -3/2 x -2

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is expressed as y = mx+b

m is the slope

b is the intercept

Get the slope

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

m = -6/4

m = -3/2

Get the intercept

Substitute m = -3/2 and (-2, 1) into y = mx+c

1 = -3/2(-2) + c

1 = 3 + c

c = 1-3

c =-2

Get the required equation

y = mx+c

y = -3/2 x + (-2)

y = -3/2 x -2

Hence the required equation is y = -3/2 x -2
