Respuesta :

Y equals Mx plus b - the equation

Answer: 6y + 5x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating  equation of line with two points is given as :

[tex]\frac{y-y_{1}}{x-x_{1}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

[tex]x_{1}[/tex] = -12

[tex]x_{2}[/tex] = 6

[tex]y_{1}[/tex] = 14

[tex]y_{2}[/tex] = -1

substituting the values into the formula , we have

[tex]\frac{y-14}{x-(-12)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1-14}{6-(-12)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y-14}{x+12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-15}{18}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y-14}{x+12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-5}{6}[/tex]

cross multiplying , we have :

6(y - 14 ) = -5 ( x + 12 )

6y - 84 = -5x - 60

6y +5x = -60 + 84

6y + 5x = 24
