Question

5. Write the equation of the line that
goes through the points (3,4) and
(-2,14).

Answer 1

y = -2x + 10

Explanation:

There is two equations to use, first one will be

`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)` =
`(14 - 4)/(-2 - 3)`
`(10)/(-5) = -2`

the slope is m= -2

Second equation

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 4 = -2 (x - 3)

y -4 = -2x + 6

Add the 4

y = -2x + 10
