Question

Writing a Linear Equation Given Two Points

Write a linear equation for the line that passes through the given points.

Answer 1

y=-3x+5

Step-by-step explanation: y=mx+b

to find slope (m) use the equation
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) \\`

so

`(-10-(-1))/(5-2)` = -3

to find b

use y=mx+b

-1=-3(2)+b

-1=-6+b

5=b

Hope this helps :)
