Which equation represents the line passes through points (1,-5 and (3,-17

The equation of the line that passes through the points and is

Further  explanation:

The linear equation with slope m and intercept c is given as follows.

The formula for slope of line with points and can be expressed as,

Given:

The passes through the points are   and

Explanation:

The line passes the points that are   and

The slope of the line can be obtained as follows.

The slope of the line ism =  - 6.

The line passes through the point

Substitute 3 for x, - 6 for m and -17 for y in equation y = mx + c to obtain the value of c.

The equation is y =  - 6x + 1.

Hence, the equation of the line that passes through the points and is
