Write an equation of the line that passes through (-2,5) and (4, -7).

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the rate of change [slope]:

Then plug these coordinates into the Slope-Intercept Formula instead of the Point-Slope Formula because you get it done much swiftly. It does not matter which ordered pair you choose:

−7 = −2[4] + b

−8

If you want it in Standard Form:

y = −2x + 1

+2x + 2x

_________

_______________________________________________

5 = [−2]² + b

4

y = −2x + 1

+2x + 2x

_________

** You see? I told you it did not matter which ordered pair you choose because you will always get the exact same result.
