Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,-5) and (-4 -6)​

Answer 1

y=-0.5x-8

Explanation:

i got it right

Answer 2

y=-2x-15

Explanation:

first find the slope. the formula for finding slope is (y_1 - y_2)/(x_1 - x_2) (rise over run) so we plug in the values and get (-6+4)/(-5+6)= -2/1=-2 so m=-2 and we have y=-2x+b. then plug in either point for x and y and solve for b. -5= -2*-5 +b, -5= 10+b, b=-15, y=-2x-15
