Question

Find an equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions.

Through
(−3, 2) and (−2, −5)

Answer 1

y=−7x−19

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y intercept

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), we have points (-3,2) and (-2,-5) so

m=(-5-2)/(-2-(-3))

m=-7/1

m=-7, now our line is

y=-7x+b, using point (-3,2) we can solve for b

2=-7(-3)+b

2=21+b

b=-19, so the completed line is

y=-7x-19
