Question

Please help me with this one please, I've been having trouble figuring this one out.

Answer 1

Y=-2x-1
I hope this helps

Answer 2

y = - 2x - 1

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 3)

m =
`(-3-5)/(2+2)` =
`(-8)/(4)` = - 2

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 1) ⇒ c = - 1

y = - 2x - 1 ← equation of line
