Question

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that passes through (3,-2) and (0,-5)

Answer 1

y=x-5

Explanation:

First, you find the slope by -2-(-5)/3-0. This would be 3/3 which is equal to 1. Then you plug in the x with any point you want. I'm going to use (3,-2). The equation should look like -2=3+y. Now we find what is y. Therefore for this equation to be true. Y is equal to -5. Now put it all together. Y=x-5. You can use the other point to check my answer! Hope that helps!!
