Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,-5) and (-3,0)?put your answer in fully reduced form

Answer 1

3y = 5x + 15

Explanation:

Slope = Change in y-cordinates

---------------------------------

Change in x-cordinates

= 0 - (-5)/-3 - (-6)

= 5/3

Using point (-3,0)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0 = 5/3 (x - (-3))

y = 5/3 (x + 3)

Expand the bracket

y = 5x/3 + 15/3

Multiply through by 3

3y = 5x + 15

Answer 2

Explanation:

The equation is y = -3x + 6.
