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

Question

anonymous · Answer

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

thank you!

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

amistre64 · Answer

subtract one point from the other to find slope

  (-2,-3)
-(-5,-1)
--------
    3,-2; slope = y/x = -2/3

y = mx -mPx +Py

amistre64 · Answer

$$y = -\frac{2}{3}x -\frac{-2(-2)}{3} +\frac{(-3)(3)}{3}$$

$$y = -\frac{2}{3}x -\frac{4}{3} +-\frac{9}{3}$$

$$y = -\frac{2}{3}x -\frac{13}{3}$$
