What is the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the points (−2, −1) and (1, 5)? A. y = 2x − 3
B. y = 2x + 3
C. y = −2x − 3
D. y = −2x + 3

y=2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the slope is 2

now we are going to find b

-1=2(-2)+b

-1=-4+b

-1+4=3

3=b

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
