Question

Show all work. Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form (-5, -5) & (-1, 3)

Answer 1

y=2x+14

Explanation:

m=3-(-5)=2

-1-(-5)

so the slope is 2

to write the equation

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we will take the mid

-5+(-1)=-6

-5+3=2

y-2=2(x-(-6))

y-2=2x+12

y=2x+14

Answer 2

y =2x + 5

Explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

3 - (-5) / -1 - (-5)

8 / 4

2

y = 2x + b

3 = 2(-1) + b

3 = -2 + b

b = 5
