Use an algebraic method to find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, -9) and (5,5). (Show your work)

y = 2x - 5

(-2,  -9)   (5,  5)                           y = mx + b

x1    y1   x2  y2                          5 = 2(5) + b

5   -  (-9)  = 14 = 2                      5 = 10 + b

5   -  (-2)  =  7                           -10  -10

                                                 -5 = b

Hope this helps and Sorry if wrong.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

the answer is d

hope this
