The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is given by
step 1
Find out the slope m
we have the points (-6,5) and (2,1)
step 2
Find out the equation of the line
we have
m=-1/2
point (2,1)
substitute and solve for b
therefore
The equation of the line is
Problem N 2
Write the equation of the line in the point-slope form that passes through the point (-2,3) and has a slope of 1/2
The equation of the line in point-slope form is given by
we have
m=1/2
point (-2,3)
substitute
