Question

Explain how you would write the slope-intercept form of an equation when the line passes through points (2, -5) and (0,5).

Answer 1

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so, m= (5-(-5))/(0-2)
m= (10/-2)
m= -5

now use point slope form to write the slope intercept form.

y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-5)=(-5)(x-2)
y+5= -5x+10
y=-5x+5

slope intercept form is: y=-5x+5

i'm prettty sure that's right, but you might want to double check it!
