Question

Write an equation of the line that contains the given points.
(-1,9), (0, -8)

Answer 1

y = -17x + 10

Explanation:

to find slope use m= y2-y1/x2-x1

m= -8-9/0-(-1)

m= -17/1

m=-17

then use point slope formula (y-y1) =m(x-x1)

(y-9) = -17(x-(-1))

simplify

y-9 = -17x + 1

turn into slope intercept form

y = -17x + 10
