You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the points (-2,3), (x,y) and (-3,5) lie on a straight line, then the equation of the line is?
Use the slope formula: m =
Assign as follows
x1=-2; y1=3
x2=-3; y2=5
m = = = -2 is the slope
The slope intercept form y = mx+b
where y = 3, x=-2, m = -2 find b
3 = -2(-2) + b
3 = 4 + b
3 - 4 = b
-1 = b
the equation
y = -2x - 1
