Question

Equation for (-2,-5) and (1,-3) in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

y=2/3x-11/3

Explanation:

use slope formula and slope intercept form. y=mx+b

Answer 2

y=2/3x-11/3

Explanation:

First, find the slope.

m= y2-y1/x2-x1

-3+5/1+2 = 2/3

Slope is 2/3

Now, pick one of the coordinates and use that and the slope to put it in point-slope form.

Point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

Let's use (1,-3)

y+3=2/3(x-1)

Distribute 2/3 to (x-1) and simplify to get the equation in slope-intercept form.

y+3=2/3x-2/3

y=2/3x-11/3
