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»

ANSWER:

Step-by-step explanation:

As the points given as(-2,5) and (3,-5).

Now, slope(m) has the formulae as

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

Now, here x1 and y1 are -2 and 5.

And x2 and y2 is 3 and -5.

Hence,

Slope m=(-5-5)/(3-(-2))

m=-10/5 = -2

Now, putting the VALUE of m in the equation of a straight line

y=mx +C

y= -2x +c

Putting the value of any point in the equation

LET (-2,5).

5=-2*-2+c

c= 5-4= 1

Hence, y INTERCEPT is 1.

If you would have taken the value of (3,-5) same value of c which is y intercept would have come.
