Question

Find the equations of the lines for the following. Your answer should be in the form y=mx+b.

Find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (0,b) in order to complete each problem.
1. The line goes through the point (1, 1) and has a slope of 2.
2. The line goes through the points (-2,6) and (2,4)

Answer 1

1 ) y = 2x - 1

slope = 2

y intercept is (0,-1)

2) y = -1/2x + 5

slope = -0.5

y intercept = (0,5)
