Question

What us the equation of the line that passes through point (2,5) and (0, -2)

Answer 1

y = 7/2 x -2

Explanation:

First we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-2 -5)/(0-2)

=-7/-2

= 7/2

We know the y intercept is -2 ( The x coordinate is 0)

Using the slope intercept form of the equation

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 7/2 x -2
