Answer:
y = -5x
Step-by-step explanation:
Which of the following linear equations passes through points (-1, 5) and (1, -5)?
y = -5x
y = 5x + 10
y = -2x + 3
None of these choices are correct.
Solution:
First find slope of equation:
slope, m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (5-(-5) / (-1-1) = 10/(-2) = -5
Now substitute m in the point slope form to find the y-intercept b
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-5 = 5(x- -1)
y = -5(x+1) + 5
y = -5x
