the graph is the first one. the others are the answer. They are in other already.

damn is hard

ya @josedavid

You want to find the line. Such line has the form: \[y=ax+b\] So now you can make 2 equations with 2 variables, by inputting your coordinates. \[1=a*5+b\]\[-2=a*(-4)+b\] Solve for a and b, and you get the line. Do you know how to solve 2 equations with 2 variables?

OpenStudy (routohan75):

no @Tommynaiter

So I would do this by substitution. Here to isolate a or b in the first equation and insert it in the 2nd. Like this: \[1=5a+b<=>b=1−5a\] Insert it: \[−2=-4a+(1−5a)<=>a=1/3\] Now you have a, and insert it: \[1=5a+b<=>1=5∗1/3+b<=>b=−2/3\] So you get the line: \[y=1/3x−2/3\]

This should be right, made a mistake before. Now this line is the same as one of yours. \[y-1=1/3(x-5) <=>y-1=1/3x-5/3 <=> y=1/3x-2/3\]
