Question

How do you find the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through the (-5, 3) and 2,-3)?

Answer 1

`-6x + 3 = y`

y intercept = 3

m slope = - 6x

Explanation:

The Slope-Intercept form is:

`m=(y-b)/(x-0)`

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)` = `(-3-(+3))/(2-(-5))`

`m = -6/7`

`-6/7 = (-3-3)/(2+5) = ( y - 3)/(7x +0)`

`-6/7 * (7x) + 3 = y`

`-42/7 + 3 = y`

`-6x + 3 = y`

y intercept = 3

m slope = - 6x
