What is an equation of the line that passes through the the points (-1 4) and (1 -6)

Answer 1

(4--6)/(-1-1) = -5 = m = the slope of the line through the two points

y=mx+b

y = -5x + b. plug in either point to solve for b

4= -5(-1) + b

b = 4-5 =-1

y =-5x -1 is the equation of the line through the two given points
