Calculate the equation of the line if two points are (1,6) and (5,0).

Explain

y = -3/2x+15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the slope

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

   = (0-6)/(5-1)

   = -6/4

  = -3/2

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -3/2 x+b

Substitute a point into the equation

0 = -3/2(5)+b

0 = -15/2+b

15/2 = b

The equation is

y = -3/2x+15/2
