Any line with the equation y=mx+c has a slope of m and a y-intercept of c.
You know that when x=-5, y=10, so if you plug these into your y=mx+c formula:
10=-5m+c
You also know that when x=-4 y=-2, so if you plug these into your y=mx+c formula:
-2=-4m+c
You can now solve these as simultaneous equations:
Let equation 1 be 10=-5m+c
Let equation 2 be -2=-4m+c
Take equation 2 from equation 1:
12=-m
so m=-12
Plug this value into equation 1:
10=(-5*-12)+c
10=60+c
so c=-50
Therefore your y=mx+c equation is:
y=-12x-50
Rewriting for the form Ax+By=c:
12x+y=-50
Write the equatin of the line in standard form (Ax+By=C) that passes through points: (-5,10) and (-4,-2).?
first get the slope:
(-2 - 10) / (-4 - (-5) ) = -12/1 = -12
then use point-slope formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 10 = -12(x - (-5))
y - 10 = -12(x + 5)
y - 10 = -12x - 60
y = -12x - 50
12x + y = -50
