Answer:

y+10 = 2(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points so we can find the slope

(−1,−10) and (5,2)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (2- -10)/(5 - -1)

   = (2+10)/(5+1)

   = 12/6

   =2

The point slope form is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y - -10 = 2(x--1)

y+10 = 2(x+1)

If we use the other point

y -2 = 2(x-5)

Answer:

y=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

points

(-1, -10) and (5, 2)

point slope equation:

y2-y1= m(x2-x1)

  • 2+10=m(5+1)
  • 12=6m

m=2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

  • y+10=2(x+1)
  • y= 2x-8

y-y2= m(x-x2)

  • y-2= 2(x-5)
  • y= 2x-8
