Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points
-$(-3,10)$ and $(2,-7)$
A) $y=\frac{17}{5} x-\frac{1}{5}$
B) $y=-\frac{13}{9} x-\frac{37}{9}$
C) $y=\frac{13}{9} x-\frac{37}{9}$
D) $y=-\frac{17}{5} x-\frac{1}{5}$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of the line is $\frac{-7 - 10}{2 - (-3)} = \frac{-17}{5}$. Using point-slope form with point $(-3, 10)$, the equation is $y - 10 = -\frac{17}{5}(x + 3)$, which simplifies to $y = -\frac{17}{5}x - \frac{1}{5}$.
