Find the equation (in slope-intercept form) of the line passing through the point with the given coordinates. (-1,-2),(-2,5) Plz include the correct answer!!
----
slope = (5--2)/(-2--1) = 7/-1 = -7
-----------------
intercept = ?
y = mx + b
5 = -7(-2) + b
b = -9
--------------
Equation:
y = -7x - 9
