Question

Passing through (-2, -9) and (6, 7) write in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Answer: y = 2x - 5

Explanation:

Use the slope formula: slope (m) =
`(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_[2]-x_(1))`

`m = (-9-7)/(-2-6)`

=
`(-16)/(-8)`

= 2

Next, input ONE of the points and the slope into the Point-Slope formula:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 7 = 2(x - 6)

y - 7 = 2x - 12

y = 2x - 5
