Find the equation (in terms of x) of the line through the points (-4,2) and (3,-5)

Y=

==================================================

Explanation:

First we need the slope

Then we can find the y intercept using the coordinates of (x,y) = (-4,2)

y = mx+b

2 = -1(-4)+b

2 = 4+b

2-4 = b

-2 = b

b = -2

Alternatively, you can use the other point (x,y) = (3,-5) and m = -1.

Because m = -1 and b = -2, we go from y = mx+b to y = -1x+(-2) which simplifies to y = -x-2
