Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (1, 6)
and (1, 2)?

Answer 1

Answer:y = -5x + 11

Explanation:

First, find the slope (m) of the line that passes through these points:

m = (1-6) / (2-1) = -5/1 = -5

Then use the point slope formula to find the equation of the line:

m = (y-y0)/(x-x0)

-5 = (y-1)/(x-2)

-5(x-2) = y-1

y - 1 = -5x+10

y = -5x + 11
