Answer:

Slope intercept formula: y = 2x -6

Point Slope formula y = 2x-6

Explanation:

1) Find the slope

2) Choose a point and plug it into the equation y = mx+b

3) Solve for b

4) Plug-in new slope (m) and new y-intercept (b) into equation y = mx+b

Solving:

4 = x1

2 = y1

7 = x2

8 = y2

to find slope with slope formula:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1 = 8-2/7-4 = 6/3 = 2

now plug in,

y = 2x+b

to find b, take any one of the pair

(i will choose (4,2) )

2 = 2(4) + b

now solve for b,

2 = 8+b

b = -6

Slope intercept formula: y = 2x -6

for point slope: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

as we know our slope is 2 and points are (0,-6) where 0 is x1 and -6 is y1

now we plug in,

y-(-6) = 2(x-0)

y+6 = 2x

Point Slope formula y = 2x-6

Hope this helps! Please like!!

Answer:

y=2X - 6

Explanation:

find the slope using the 2 points

m = 8-2/7-3 = 2

substitute 4,2 in the equation y=mx+b and solve for b.

2 = 2x4+b

b=-6

y = 2x - 6
