Answer:

Explanation:

y = mx + b where: m= the slope = -5/6

1 ∙y=mx+b.

2 here m=5.

3 ⇒y=5x+b←is the partial equation.

4 9=5+b⇒b=9−5=4.

5 ⇒y=5x+4←is the equation of the line

How to Find the Equation of a Line from Two Points

Find the slope using the slope formula. ...

Use the slope and one of the points to solve for the y-intercept (b). ...

Once you know the value for m and the value for b, you can plug these into the slope-intercept form of a line (y = mx + b) to get the equation for the line.
