Question 759648
Find the equation (in slope intercept form) of the line passing through the points with the line passing through the points given the coordinates. (-5, 1), (-4, 2)

Solution:

slope = (2-1)/(-4+5) = 1

Then equation:  y = 1x+ b

(-5,1) is on the line then:   1 = 1(-5)+b

1 = -5+b

Then b = 6

Answer:  y = x+6
