Write the equation of a line that passes through the points in the table. x (-1, -4, -7)
y (5, 11, 17

The equation of the line that passes through the points in the table is:

The line passes through the following points

x (-1, -4, -7)

y (5, 11, 17)

Start by calculating the slope (m) of the line

So, we have:

Evaluate the differences

Evaluate the quotient

The equation is then calculated as:

This gives

Open the brackets

Evaluate the like terms

Hence, the equation of the line is:

y = -2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets just put the three points together.

(-1, 5) (-4, 11) (-7, 17)

First let's find the slope with y2 - y1/x2 - x1

Plug in using (-1, 5) and (-4, 11)

11 - 5/-4 + 1 = 6/-3 (simplify)

-2 is the slope

Now plug in (-7, 17) in the equation to get b or the y-intercept)

y = mx + b

17 = -2(-7) + b

17 = 14 + b (subtract 14 on both sides)

3 = b

y = -2x + 3

idk the answer i want to say 10 but then it would be equal so try 9 but then yeah so yeah we love edgen
