Question

Write a equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes though (-5,19) and (5,13)

Answer 1

y= -3/5x + 16

Explanation:

slope intercept form: y=mx+b

1. Find the slope: rise over run so 13-19/ 5-(-5) = -3/5

M=-3.5

2. Find the y - intercept by using the point slope form: b= 16

So, y= -3/5x + 16

Hope this helps :)
