You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since you do not have the slope, you must first find the slope by using the point-slope formula. Since you have two points use this form. The first set of points are numbered 1 and the second set of points are numbered 2 for this.
\n" ); document.write( "that is what I mean when i put the 1 or 2 beside the variable in this equation.
\n" ); document.write( "OK??? like this\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Y2 - Y1
\n" ); document.write( "------- = m=slope your equation would look like this -3-5
\n" ); document.write( "X2 - X1 ----- = -8/4=-2
\n" ); document.write( " 3-(-1)
\n" ); document.write( " so the slope of your line is -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then use the Point-slope form of the quation of a line
\n" ); document.write( "y-y1 = m(x-x1) Your equation would look like y-5=-2(x-(-1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "distribute all the numbers and put in y=mx+b form (slope intercept form)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y-5=-2x-2
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2x+5-2
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2x+3 slope intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
