Question

A). Write an equation in slope-intercept

form for a line that goes through the points
(2, 7) and (4, -4).

Answer 1

Answer: y= -11/2x + 7

Explanation:

(2,7) and (4,-4)

Do
`(y^(2) - y^1)/(x^2-x^1) \\` so it should look like this
`(-4-7)/(4-2) =(-\\11)/(2)`

`(-11)/(2)` is your slope

Then you need to find your "b" term.

`-4=(-11)/(2) (2) +b`

Multiply -11/2 by 2 and add 11 to both sides

Then do -4 + 11 which equals 7

So 7 is your b term

So your answer is y= -11/2 + 7

Answer 2

Answer: y = -5.5x +18

Step-by-step explanation: -11/2 = 5.5
