Answer:
y=-6/5x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given points (5,-8) and (-5,4)
Slope = m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (-8-4/(5-(-5)) = -12/10 = -6/5
Y-intercept = b = (0,-2)
Final equation: y=-6/5x-2
Answer:
y=-6/5x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
Its sloping downwards, so a negative slope.
two points: (-5,4) and (5,-8)
---------------------------------------------
so first find the slope.
y2-y1 / x2-x1 <= formula
so: -8-(4) / 5-(-5)
which becomes => -12/ 10
which is 6/5 the slope is 6/5
------------------------------------------
plug this into y=mx+b, where m is the slope
so: y=6/5x+b
------------------------------------------
obviously b is the y intercept, where the line meets y
the y intercept is -2
sooooooo final answer is
----------------------------------
y=6.5x+(-2)
-----------------------------------
Negative slope, so becomes y=6/5x-2
