(-6,-5) and (2, 0)

Answer 1

(-6,-5) and (2,0)

are two points with a line through them

with the equation that has slope = "rise over run"

= difference in y values divided by difference in x values

= (0- -5)/(2- -6) = 5/8

the equation in point slope form is

y -0 = (5/8)(x-2)

y = (5/8)(x-2)

y = (5/8)x -5/4 in slope intercept form

or

8y = 5x -10

5x-8y=10 in standard form

it helps to plot the points, draw a line connecting them

to see if the equation looks right

construct a right triangle using one point as lower left vertex

the other point as upper right vertex

or maybe you meant the points to be in a quadratic equation

for a parabola, then it gets a little more complicated
