Question

find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points. (-5,-1)(-2,-3) in slope-intercept form y=____________?

Answer 1

1) Find the slope of line these points
2) Use point slope -- (y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 2

thank you!

Answer 3

i kind of waited til the last minute to finish this assignment, shame on me. haha

Answer 4

subtract one point from the other to find slope

(-2,-3)
-(-5,-1)
--------
3,-2; slope = y/x = -2/3

y = mx -mPx +Py

Answer 5

\[y = -\frac{2}{3}x -\frac{-2(-2)}{3} +\frac{(-3)(3)}{3}\]

\[y = -\frac{2}{3}x -\frac{4}{3} +-\frac{9}{3}\]

\[y = -\frac{2}{3}x -\frac{13}{3}\]

Answer 6

at least teh question is fairly straight forward
