Question

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,1) and (-2,-5)

Answer 1

You can find the gradient of the line by y2-y1/x2-x1
Then substitute into the general equation y=mx+c
Substitute y,x, and m to find c

Answer 2

point slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = slope of line

Answer 3

y1 = 1, x1 = -4
