Question 697804: Can you help me with this question.
Write the equation of the line that passes through each pair of points in the slope- intercept form. (-5,-4) and (15,0)

Answer by josmiceli(19441)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the general point-slope formula
( y - y[1] ) / ( x - x[1] ) = ( y[2] - y[1] ) / ( x[2] - x[1] )
where
( x[1] , y[1] ) = ( -5, -4 )
( x[2], y[2] ) = ( 15, 0 )



Multiply both sides by



answer
-----------------
check:
Does it go through ( -5,-4 ) ?




Does it go through ( 15,0 )?



OK
