Question

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, 3) and (1, -6).

Answer 1

Do you know how to find the slope of a line with two points given?

Answer 2

No :/

Answer 3

Ok, Its not a problem not knowing something :)
If (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points of a line, then the slope of the line is given by:
\[(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\]
Now, Put in the given values in this. y2=-6 y1=3 x2=1 x1=-2
Calculate the slope, then post it. We shall move to the next step after that. Ok?

Answer 4

I know how to do that. LOL. Oh damn I feel stupid.

Answer 5

Ok, then.
Consider the slope as m.
The equation of the line will be:
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
Put the values for x1,y1 and m but let y and x be as it is.
