Answer:

slope is -1/2

y intercept is 13

Explanation:

line that passes through the points (6, 10) and (12, 7)

To find slope apply slope formula


slope = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) =(7-10)/(12-6) =(-1)/(2)

EQuation of the line is y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

m=-1/2


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m=-1/2 and (6,10)


y-10=(-1)/(2)(x-6)


y-10=(-1)/(2)x+3

Add 10 on both sides


y=(-1)/(2)x+13

The value of b=13, so y intercept is 13
