Need help with a math question

Answer 1

`y = 8x - 26`

Step-by-step explanation

The given points are (3,-2) (4,6).

The slope formula is given by:

`m= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We use the slope formula to get:

`m = (6 - - 2)/(4 - 3)`

The slope is

`m = 8`

We use the point-slope formula to get;

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

`y + 2 = 8(x - 3)`

We expand to get;

`y = 8x - 24 - 2`

The slope-intercept form of the equation is:

`y = 8x - 26`
