Question

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

Answer 1

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
\[m=-3\]

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

The answer of Satellite 73 is right

Answer 5

Y=-3x + 17 is the answer of trykas question
