Answer:
y = -(5/6)x + 0.917
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate a slope with the two given points:
(-2.5,3) and (3.5,-2)
Rise (change in y) = -2 - (3) = -5
Run (change in x) = 3.5 - (-2.5) = 6.0
Slope = Rise/Run = -5/6
The line has the following form:
y = -(5/6)x + b
We can find b, the y-intercept, by using one of the two points in the equation and then solve for b. I'll choose (-2.5,3):
y = -(5/6)x + b
3 = -(5/6)*(-2.5) + b
3 = 2.083 + b
b = 0.917
y = -(5/6)x + 0.917
