Question

Graph the line that passes through the points (8, -3) and (4, 1) and

determine the equation of the line.

Answer 1

y = -x + 5

Explanation:

The equation is y= mx + b

m = the slope or rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

b = y-intercept

The slope here is -1, and the y-intercept is 5, so our equation is

y = -x + 5
