write the equation of the line that passes through the point

write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,3) and (-4,5) using the following

a. find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2,3) and (-4,5).

b. find the y-intercept of the line.

Solution: - Given points (-2, 3) and (-4, 5)

part a: - Slope of the line =(5 -3)/(-4 +2) = -1

Equation of the line (y -3) =-1(x +2)

y = -x -2 +3 = -x +1

part b: - To find y intercepts put x =0

y = 1
