Question

Write the slope- intercept form of the equation of the line through given points.

Answer 1

i think the slope is y=-5x+8 :)

Answer 2

Answer:

• $\boxed{\sf{y=-5x+8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem using the slope formula and slope-intercept formula.

Slope formula:

$\Longrightarrow: \sf{m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{rise}{run} }$

Slope-intercept formula:

$\Longrightarrow: \sf{y=mx+b}$

• M: represents the slope.
• B: represents the y-intercept.

(1,3) and (2,-2)

y2=(-2)

y1=3

x2=2

x1=1

Rewrite the problem.

$\sf{\dfrac{-2-3}{2-1}=\dfrac{-5}{1}=-5 }$

• The slope is -5.

• y-intercept is 8.

Rewrite the problem.

y=-5x+8

• Therefore, the correct answer is y=-5x+8.
