Answer:
y = 6x + 7
Explanation:
Find slope:
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
= (1 - (-5)) / (-1 - (-2))
= 6 / 1
= 6
Find y-intercept using m from above and anyone of the given points, let's use (-2, -5):
y = mx + b
-5 = 6(-2) + b
-5 = -12 + b
b = 7
Now use m and b from above to make equation of line:
y = mx + b
y = 6x + 7
