Find the equation of the line passing through the points (-2,-17) and (-5,11). Enter your answer in "y = mx + b" form.
+2668 y = (slope)x + (y-intercept)
Slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
= 11- (-17) / -5 - (-2)
= 28/-3 or -9.3333333 or -9 1/3
Y-intercept = 2(-9 1/3) + -17 = -35 2/3
So...
The equation is y = -28/3x - 35 2/3
