Now, y = mx +c

>> Now m= -12-6/1-(-5)

>>= -18/6

>>= -3

Therefore we have, y=-3x +c

The above equation passes through (-5,-6). Hence it must satisfy the equation.

>> 6=-3(-5) + c

>> 6=15+c

>>-9=c

Therefore the equation becomes:

y= -3x -9

y=mx+c

6=m x -5 + c

-12= m x 1 + c

——————–

18 = -6m

m=-3

——————–

Substitute in m=-3 into any equation

-12= 1 x -3 + c

c= -9

—————————

y=-3x-9

the formula is

(x1,y1). & (x2,y2)

(y-y1) = m(x-x1)

where m = slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)………..

solving this u will get

y = -3x-9……….
