Answer:
y = 3x - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
- First, use the y2-y1/x2-x1 format to find the slope: 20 - 5/3 - (-2)
(Note: change 3 - (-2) to 3 + 2 to make it easier for you)
Your slope would be 3/1 or 3.
- Now use the slope-intercept format: y = mx + b
(Use either the first point or second point, I chose the first)
5 = 3(-2) + b
- Multiply 3 and -2, which is -6.
- Subtract 5 from -6: -6 - 5 = -11
Your y-intercept is -11.
Hope this helped!
