Line y = kx + b passes through point A (10; -9) and B (-6; 7) Write the equation of this line

Let’s compose a system of equations:

(1) -9 = 10k + b.

(2) 7 = -6k + b.

We subtract from (1) the equation – (2) the equation and obtain (3):

-16 = 16k, k = -1.

substitute the value of k in (1):

– 9 = -10 + b

b = 1.

The sought function: y = -x + 1.
