Find the equation of the line passing through the points (6, -1) and (5, 2). Write your answer
in slope-intercept form.

Question

anonymous · Answer

find the slope in your head. from 5 to 6 means right one unit. from 2 to -1 i down 3 units so slope is 
$$m=-3$$

anonymous · Answer

or you can use 
$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-1-2}{6-5}=-3$$

anonymous · Answer

then use almighty point slope formula 
$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$ with 
$$m=-3,x_1=5,y_1=2$$ to get 
$$y-2=-3(x-5)$$
$$y-2=-3x+15$$
$$y=-3x+17$$
