Answer:
y=-1x-5
Explanation:
You need the two Formula below to solve this problem.
y = mx + b
M = (Y 2 – Y 1) / (X 2 – X 1)
First you need to find the m, you need to put in the points in the right place (look below and you would see how I did it).
(-5,0) and (-2,-3)
⇅ ⇅
x1, y1 x2,y2
The -5 is the x1 and the 0 is the y1 and the -2 is x2 and the -3 is y2. Put the number in place using the second formula( as you see below).
m= -3 - 0 / -2 - (-5) = -3 / 3 = -1 So, m = -1
We are going to look for b now
Choose one of the points ( I choose (-5,0) because it look easier)
Get the Formula y= mx + b and substitute numbers
The 0 in the points is the y and the -5 is the x and the m is -1. Put all of it together and solve. (Like this)
y= mx + b
0=-1(-5)+b (multiply the -1 and -5)
0=5+b (minus the 5 to the 0)
-5=b
So, b = -5 and the m = -1
Last, Y= mx + b ( put everything together)
Answer: y=-1x-5
