Question

What is the slope-intercept form for (1,6) and (2,5)

Answer 1

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{2-1}\implies \cfrac{-1}{1}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-6=-1(x-1) \\\\\\ y-6=-x+1\implies y=-x+7`
