Write the equation of the line passing through points ( -2,-5) and (1,1)

The equation of the line is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

Finding the slope between the points

We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation

where m is the slope and b is the slope-intercept form

substituting the value m=2 and the point (-2, -5) to find the b-intercept

-5 = 2(-2) + b

b = -5+4

b = -1

Now, substituting m=2 and b=-1 in the slope-intercept form to get the equation of a line

y=mx+b

y=2x+(-1)

y=2x-1

Thus, the equation of the line is:

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.
