Which is the equation to the line passing through points (2, -7) and (5, -1)?

OpenStudy (dan815):

do you know what the equation of a line usually looks like

OpenStudy (dan815):

y=mx+B

OpenStudy (dan815):

m= slope b=yintercept

OpenStudy (dan815):

slope = change in y/ change in x slope = (-7)- (-1)/(2-5)

OpenStudy (dan815):

after you find slope sub into equation y=mx+b, one of the given points and the slope and solve for b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So y = 2x - 8? @@dan815
