Question

The points $(-2,5)$ and $(3,-5)$ are plotted in xy planes. Find the slope and y intercept of the line joining the points.

Answer 1

Slope(m)$=\frac{5+5}{-2-3}=-2$

$\begin{array}{c}y-5=-2\left(x+2\right)\\ y-5=-2x-4\\ y+2x=1\end{array}$

$(0,1)$ Slope $=-2$

$y$ intercept $=1\left[\right(0,1\left)\right]$
