Question 937030: Write and Equation in Slope Intercept Form for the line containing the points (3,-17) and (-4,18)
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope = dy/dx
m = (18+17)/(-4-3)
m = -5
---
y - 18 = -5(x + 4)
y - 18 = -5x - 20
y = -5x - 20 + 18
y = -5x - 2
