Answer:
y - 19 = 2(x - 5)
Explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 19) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 5, - 1)
m =
=
= 2
We can use either of the 2 points as a point on the line
Using (a, b) = (5, 19), then
y - 19 = 2(x - 5) ← in point- slope form
