Question

Find the slope between the two points given. Then, use the slope and one of the points to write the equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form. State the slope and y-intercept. (−1,−3) and (−2,−5)

Answer 1

y = 2x - 1

Explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

-5 - (-3) / -2 - (-1)

-2/-1

= 2

y = 2x + b

-3 = 2(-1) + b

-3 = -2 + b

-1 = b
