Which is the equation to the line passing through points (2, –7) and (5, –1)?
Answer
y = – 2x + 9
y = 2x – 11
y = – 2x + 6
y = 2x – 8

Question

Which is the equation to the line passing through points (2, –7) and (5, –1)?
Answer

First we have to find the slope:
y2-y1
----
x2- x1

Your given points are:
(2,-7) or (x1,y1)
(5,-1) or (x2,x1) 

Once you have found "m" or slope, choose any one of the given points and then plug it in into the formula:
y-y1 = m(x-x1) 
and simplify

i got the third choice is it right?

One moment.

- 1 + 7 
------
5 - 2 

6 / 3 = 2 

Your slope is incorrect, so no. Try again
