Question

Type the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the points (6, 5) and (-6, -4)

Answer 1

y=3/4x+1/2

Explanation:

slope intercept form: y=mx+b

find the slope with y2-y1/x2-x1: (-4-5)/(-6-6)= 3/4

substitute one of the coordinates in the equation with the slope: 5=3/4(6)+b

solve to find b:

b=1/2

substitute in the equation:

y=3/4x+1/2
