Question

Write the slope- intercept form of the equation of the line through given points.

Answer 1

i think the slope is y=-5x+8 :)

Answer 2

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{y=-5x+8}}`

Explanation:

You can solve this problem using the slope formula and slope-intercept formula.

Slope formula:

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(rise)/(run) }`

Slope-intercept formula:

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{y=mx+b}`

• M: represents the slope.
• B: represents the y-intercept.

(1,3) and (2,-2)

y2=(-2)

y1=3

x2=2

x1=1

Rewrite the problem.

`\sf{(-2-3)/(2-1)=(-5)/(1)=-5 }`

• The slope is -5.

• y-intercept is 8.

Rewrite the problem.

y=-5x+8

• Therefore, the correct answer is y=-5x+8.
