Question

Find an equation of the line through the given pair of points. (-7,-5) and (-1,-9) The equation of the line is (Simplify your answer. Type an equation using x and y as the variables. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.) please help​

Answer 1

The equation of the line is y = -2/3x - 29/3

Explanation:

The slope of these points (-7,-5) and (-1,-9) is m = -2/3

Once you plug that into the y = mx + b equation, you can see that the y-intercept is -29/3.

Put all of that into the y = mx + b equation and you'll get --> y = -2/3x - 29/3
