Identify the equation in slope-intercept form for the line containing the points

(3,5) and (2,-5)
Choices:
y = 3x − 15
y = 5x − 25
y = 10x − 25
y = 5x + 10
Pls help

Answer:

Third Option y=10x-25

Explanation:

Identify the equation in slope-intercept form for the line containing the points

(3,5) and (2,-5)

Choices:

y = 3x − 15

y = 5x − 25

y = 10x − 25

y = 5x + 10

Pls help

Sooo let’s solve this….

Notice the x-axis

Slope Intercept form changes at a constant rate soooo… from (3,5) to (2,-5)

The axis goes left by 1

On A graph the more to the left the smaller number get.

The Y-axis goes down by 10 from the bigger point

But…..

It’s really not going left 1 and 10 down you always start with the smaller point so from

(2,-5) to (3,5) It goes Right 1 and 10 up

Knowing this

Slope Intercept form

Y=mx+b

Where m=slope

b= y-intercept where the line crosses x=0

Our Slope Is 10

Because from -5 to 5 you have to add 10 to get the other value

y=10x+b

But lets just figure out the y-intercept to be sure.

We want the X-axis to be 0 so we will be going left until we get to 0

So We get this point (2,-5)

Knowing that we go up 10 and right 1 to get to the higher value we will do the opposite.

We will go 1 to the left and 10 down

(2,-5)

(1,-15)

(0,-25) As you can see x=0 so the y-intercept will be -25

y=mx+b

m=slope

b= y-intercept

y=10x-25 The Third Option is the Answer….
