Question

A straight line passes through the points $(2, 5)$ and $(-4, -7).$ Plot these points on a graph paper and draw the straight line passes through these points. If points $(a, -1)$ and $(-5, b)$ lie on the line drawn, find the value of $a$ and $b.$

✓

Answer

The graph is as follows:

From the graph, we find that $a = -1$ and $b = -9.$
