Answer:
y = 4x - 14 or y = 2(x - 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the slope
- m = -2 - 6 / 3 - 5
- m = -8/-2
- m = 4
Finding the y-intercept
- Take x-coordinate to be 0 and take one of the 2 points mentioned and put in the point-slope equation form
- y - 6 = 4(0 - 5)
- y - 6 = 4(-5)
- y = -14
Making the equation using slope-intercept form
- y = mx + c
- y = 4x - 14 or y = 2(x - 7)
