Answer:
y = 7/5 x + 31
Explanation:
To find the slope, we need to use the formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m =(-4-17)/(5- -10)
= -21/(5+10)
= 21/15
Divide the top and bottom by 3.
= 7/5
The slope is 7/5.
Using the point slope form of the equation,
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-17 = 7/5 (x--10)
y-17 = 7/5(x+10)
Distribute the 7/5 ths.
y-17 = 7/5 x + 7/5*10
y-17 = 7/5 x +14
Add 17 to each side
y = 7/5 x + 14 + 17
y = 7/5 x + 31
This is in slope intercept form, with the slope being 7/5 and the y intercept of 31
