Question

(1,4) (6,-1) write an equation of the line that passes through each pair of points.

Answer 1

For this problem the equation is y = -x + 5

Answer 2

y =- x+5

Explanation:

hello :

note :

Use the point-slope formula.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) when : x_1= 1 y_1= 4

m is the slope m=(y_1 - y_2)/( x_1 - x_2) and x_2=6 y_2= -1

m = (4+1)/(1-6)= 5/-5 = -1

an equation is : y-4 =-1(x - 1) means : y =- x+5
