Find the equation of the line passing through the points (−2,−17) and (5,−7). Give your answer in "y=mx+b" form.
+189 As you should know, the slope(m) is (y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2). In this case your slope is 10/7. So we've figured out m=10/7. Now we can do 2*(10/7)+(-17)=20/7 - 119/7 = -99/7. So b = -99/7.
So the equation of the line is y=10x/7−99/7 also written as y=10x/7−14 1/7
