What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, 1) and (1, 10)?
3x - y = -7
3x - y = -5
3x - y = 5
x + 3y = -5

so y=mx+b = 3x+b
now we need to find b
use the point (1,10)
x=1 y = 10
10=3(1)+b
what is b?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
10=3+b
what is b?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
you might need to back track and learn some basics.
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
10=3+b
