Question

how do you write the equation of the line passing through the points (-3,-12), (5,4)

Answer 1

Do you know how to find the slope given 2 points?

Answer 2

Oh and point-slope, or slope-int?

Answer 3

y2-y1 over x2-x1?

Answer 4

Yep thats right

Answer 5

\[y-y_1=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }(x-x_1)\]


Where

(x_1,y_1)=(-3,-12)

(x_2,y_2)=(5,4)

Answer 6

just do that and ill get the y-mx+b? from that?

Answer 7

No, hold on, ill write it step by step

Answer 8

@cralls18

Just use that formula :)
