Question

Which equation represents the line passing through the points (2, -2) and (-5, 12)?
a: 2x - y = 2
b: 2x + y = 2
c: x + 2y = 2
d: x - 2y = 2

Answer 1

Use the slope intercept form after solving for m

Answer 2

m, your slope is y2-y1/(x2-x1)

Answer 3

Do you know where to start?

Answer 4

ok...

Answer 5

not at all !!

Answer 6

Start with finding your slope, what do you get?

Answer 7

@jamesHayek didn't you just say that ...?

Answer 8

\[(y+2)= \frac{ (12+2) }{ (-5-2) }*(x-2)\]

Answer 9

simplify the above equation

Answer 10

Yup! ;)

Answer 11

Remember what your slope is. Once you find that you can use the slope intercept form. After that you can plug in any coordinate on the line to find b. And remember, b is your y-intercept.
