(-2,2) (5,-5) find y=mx+b

m = 2 + 5/ -2 -5 = -1
y - 2 = - ( x + 2)
--> y = -x

the equation for linear type fraction is: Y-y1=m(X-x1)
M would be (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) so in this case we have M=(2-(-5))/(-2-5)=-1
so-----------------------> Y-2=-1(X-(-2))---------------->Y=-X+0---…

Use the form (y-y)=m(x-x)

so (-5-2)= m(5--2)

work it out and m= -1

so, y=-1x or in other words, y= -x
