How would you solve this: Use those steps to find the equation of the line through the points (2, 5) and (-3, 1).

Question

anonymous · Answer

step 1, find slope
step 2, use point slope formula
step 3, convert to slope intercept formula or standard formula

anonymous · Answer

IMPORTANT LINE RELATED EQUATIONS TO KNOW AND MEMORIZE

slope formula
m= slope/ gradiant -- same thing
$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

standard formula
$$Ax+By=C$$

point-slope formula
$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

slope-intercept formula
b= y-intercept -- in the form of (0,y)

$$y=mx+b$$

anonymous · Answer

so would the answer for this be 
m=6
b=-4

anonymous · Answer

slope is incorrect
m= 5-1/2-(-3)
m=4/5

anonymous · Answer

how did you get that could you show me so I will understand

anonymous · Answer

look at the slope equation i gave you

anonymous · Answer

(2, 5) = (x2,y2)
 (-3, 1)=(x1,y1)

x2=2, y2=5, x1=-3, y1=1

anonymous · Answer

1-5/-3-2= -4/-5  < --- i believe thats your slope of y=mxtb .. so y=-4/-5x + b .. you can check by using one of the coordinates

anonymous · Answer

-4/-5= 4/5
