Question 675183: Find the equation of the line through (-1,1) and (5,2).
(a) x - y - 2 = 0
(b) x - 2y - 1 = 0
(c) x - 6y + 7 = 0
(d) x + y = 0
(e) x - y + 2 = 0

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope = (x--1)
y = 1%2F6(x+1) + 1
y = 1%2F6x + 1%2F6 + 1
...
y = %281%2F6%29x+%2B+%281%2F6%29+%2B+%286%2F6%29
y = %281%2F6%29x+%2B+7%2F6
...
multiply the entire equation by 6
6y = x + 7
0 = x - 6y + 7
