Question

Given 4,-1 and 0,5 write the equation

Answer 1

`y=-(3)/(2)x+5`

Explanation:

If you are referring to the equation that passes through these two points:

the slope of (4,-1) and (0,5) is
`(-1-5)/(4-0) = (-6)/(4) = -(3)/(2)`.

Using slope-point with (0,5):
`y-5=-(3)/(2)(x-0)`

Solving that you get
`y=-(3)/(2)x+5`
