Answer:
y = -4x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
using any two points, in this case (0, 5) and (3, -7) you can find slope by using this formula: [tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
plug in the x- and y- values of the two points above
[tex]m=\frac{-7-5}{3-0}=\frac{-12}{3}=-4[/tex]
y = -4x + b
use any point of the line and plug it into the equation above
5 = -4(0) + b
5 = -4 + b
5 + 4 = -4 + b +4
9 = b
the equation in full is y = -4x +9
