Aline passes through the points (–5, 2) and (10, –1). which is the equation of the line? y = –5x – 23 y = 5x + 27

Slope = (2 + 1) / (-5 - 10) = -3/15 = - 1/5

Equation

y - 2 = -1/5 (x + 5)

y - 2 = -1/5 x - 1

y = -1/5 x + 1

Answer

y = -1/5 x + 1

assuming this is from a math graphing problem.

7 would be on the x-axis which is the horizontal line on the graph

84 would be on the y-axis which is the vertical line on the graph
