Question 225953: Please help me find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points. Final answer must be written as a linear function in slope-intercept form.
(-2,0) and (3,-7)
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the slope (m) is the y-change divided by the x-change

m = (-7 - 0) / (3 - -2) = -7/5

using the point-slope form ___ y - 0 = -7/5 (x - -2)

y = (-7/5) x - 14/5
