Question
Find an equation of the line passing through the given points. Use function notation to write the equation.$$(-2,5),(-6,13)$$
Step 1
The slope (m) is given by the formula: \[m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\] Substituting the given points into the formula, we get: \[m = \frac{13 - 5}{-6 - (-2)} = \frac{8}{-4} = -2\] So, the slope of the line is -2. Show more…
