Answer:
they give you two points... so use the point slope formula with one on the points
y - y1 = m ( x - x1)
Step-by-step explanation:
find the slope m
m = y2 -y1 / x2-x1
from the given.. x1=2 and y1 = -5
x2 = 3 and y2 = -1 then,
m = -1 -( -5) / 3 - 2
m = 4/1
m = 4
now plug in to the point slope formula either of the points... I'll use the 1st point
y - 2 = 4(x -(-5))
y -2 = 4(x +5)
y -2 = 4x +20
y = 4x +22
there you go... see? :) also why are you working on HW now.. ?? :/ isn't it winter break?
