You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that passes through the points (5,2) and (-7, 3).
slope = m=[3-2]/[-7-5]=-1/12
Form of the equation you want is y=mx+b where m=-1/2,x=5,y=2
2=(-1/2)(5)+b
2=-(5/2)+b
b=9/2
EQUATION:
y=(-1/2)x+9/2
Cheers,
Stan H.
