Question

Which equation describes the line that contains the points (-5, 2) and (3, 7)?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (7-2)/(3-(-5))

= 5/8

y-7 = (5/8)(x-3)

8y-56 = 5x - 15

-5x + 8y = 41

5x - 8y = -41 in standard form

5x - 8y + 41 = 0 in general form

y = (5/8)x + 41/8 in slope - yintercept form
