Question

Find the equation in slope intercept form
(-8,-2) and (-4,6

Answer 1

y = 2x + 14

Explanation:

Use the slope equation:

`m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

`m = (6-(-2))/(-4-(-8))\\m = (8)/(4)\\m = 2`

Next, find the y-intercept by subbing in one of the points and the slope into what you have so far in the equation:

(-8, -2)

y = mx + b

-2 = 2(-8) + b

-2 = -16 + b

-2 + 16 = b

b = 14

Now you have your final equation:

y = 2x + 14

Answer 2

y = 2x + 14
