Question

Given the points (-2, 1) and (5, -5):

a) Find the slope of the line through the points.

b) Write an equation in point-slope form of the line through the points.

c) Convert the equation to slope-intercept form.

d) Convert the equation to standard form.

e) Graph the equation. You may use the axes provided, or create your own graph

Answer 1

I'll help, but I won't do all the work.

Slope:
\[m =\frac{ y2 - y1 }{ x2 - x1 } \to \frac{ -5 - 1 }{ 5 - (-2) } \to \frac{ -5 -1 }{ 5 + 2 }\]
What's the slope?

Answer 2

*I meant:
What is (-5) - 1?
What is 5 + 2?
