Write the equation of the line passing through (-3,-5) and (3,0)
Answer by tutorcecilia(2152) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the formula for a slope:
Slope=m=
Use the formula for a slope:
Slope=m= [plug-in the values (-3,-5) and (3,0)
and solve]
Slope=m=
Slope=m=
.
Next, use the slope-intercept equation of a line: y=mx+b
y=mx+b [plug-in the values and solve for the b-term]
-5=(5/6)(-3)+b
-5=(-5/2)+b
-5+(5/2)=(-5/2)+(5/2)+b
-5/2=b [plug-in (b=-5/2) and the slope (5/6) into y=mx+b
.
y=mx+b
y=5/6x-5/2
